The 2021–22 Donar season was the 50th season in the existence of the club. The club played its first season in the BNXT League, a newly established league which combines the Belgian and Dutch national leagues.

Overview

[edit]

This was the first season under newly hired head coach Matthew Otten, who came over from Yoast United. Otten returned to Donar after playing a on the championship team in 2010.[1] Along with Otten, star point guard Austin Luke came over from United. Additionally, Donar recruited five new foreign players. The team managed to qualify for the regular season after it finished in second place in the qualifying tournament hosted at MartiniPlaza. In the regular season, Donar failed to advance after taking big losses against London Lions and Medi Bayreuth.[2]

In the BNXT League season, Donar stumbled in the first quarter of the season with an opening day loss against Aris Leeuwarden. In early November, two new foreign players were signed in Donte Thomas and Jimmy Gavin. Donar ended the year 2021 with two losses against ZZ Leiden and Yoast United.

On 20 March 2022, Donar won its seventh national Basketball Cup after defeating Heroes Den Bosch in the final, which was played in the MartiniPlaza. In the national playoffs, Donar was swept 0-3 by Heroes. In the BNXT Play-offs, they reached the finals where they lost to ZZ Leiden over two games.
