ASK Rīga is a former professional basketball club that was based inRiga,Latvia. "ASK" stood for "Armijas Sporta Klubs" (in English: Army Sports Club).

History

[edit]

BK Rīga was then founded in 2004 as an attempt to revive the defunct clubRīgas ASK which was founded in 1931 and considered the most successful Latvian club on international level. BK Riga got back the original name ofASK Rīga on March 23, 2006, which was supported by theRiga City Council, theNational Latvian Army Forces, and some powerful sponsors, as well as the brand newArēna Rīga, with room for 12,500 fans.

The team then made it to both theBaltic League and theFIBA EuroCup quarterfinals, but the best was yet to come. The arrival ofTorraye Braggs happened to be the key piece in a roster already featuringSandis Valters,Raitis Grafs,Curtis Millage,A.J. Bramlett, andSandis Buškevics. ASK won the best-of-seven 2006–07Latvian League finals 4–2, and started a new era for the club, breakingBK Ventspils's seven-year Latvian League dynasty. ASK hosted theEuroCup's2007–08 opening game, but a plague of injuries did not allow the team to reach the competition's elimination rounds. In that season same 2007–08 season, ASK Rīga finished fourth in theBaltic League, and also finished in 3rd place in theLatvian League. The2008–09 season was the last season of ASK Rīga to date.
