History
editThe merger between the Liga Națională (the top tier of Romanian basketball) and Liga I (the second tier) after the 2017-18 season meant that CSM Târgu Mureș was going to start its existence directly in the top flight.[2] George Trif was appointed as head coach to the team, which was formed mostly from local players.[3] CSM Târgu Mureș finished the 2018-19 season in eleventh, way clear of the relegation zone,[4] but financial difficulties within the club meant that they chose to withdraw from the Liga Națională for the 2019-20 season and enter the second tier.[5] The team had a dominant 2021-22 season on the court, losing only once all season in order to be promoted back to the top tier.[6][7] Mureșenii had a difficult start to the new campaign, which included five losses in six games in November, ultimately failing to qualify for the Championship round.[8] A string of wins during the later stages of the campaign meant that CSM finished the 2022-23 season in eleventh once again.[9]
