While in the Italian Serie A, Milano needs a confirmation after having lost the previous year championship in the semifinal against Dinamo Sassari, despite being the favourite team.

After having lost in any competitions of the disappointing 2018-19 season, the team first replaces the president Livio Proli[1] with Pantaleo Dell'Orco and then the head Coach Simone Pianigiani.

[3] The season had a great start in Euroleague with seven wins and only two losses, while in the Italian league Milano struggles to find continuity.

The management was compelled to some corrective actions by releasing Aaron White[5] and Shelvin Mack,[6] after their unsatisfying performances, and hire Keifer Sykes[7] (who joined the team already in December) and Drew Crawford,[8] the latter only for the Euroleague.

The Lega Basket was the first organization that decided to suspend the competition[9] to both comply to the government directives[10] and avoid spreading the virus amongst the players.

Crawford could be used, though, only in the Euroleague because there was no room left for more foreign players in the roster for the Italian championship, the last spot was taken by Keifer Sykes.

After the Italian Basketball Federation (FIP) meeting, the season came to an early end without winners, the following matches were cancelled.
