After winning their 36th Spanish title in the previous season, Real Madrid faced a summer of changes.

The club part ways with three players – Trey Thompkins, Jeffery Taylor and Thomas Heurtel – in the span of 4 days, between 25 and 29 June 2022.

[1][2][3] The most meaningful change was the replacement of the legendary head coach Pablo Laso, who had suffered a heart attack, with Chus Mateo, as the club deemed Laso's continuity to be too risky for his health given his condition.

[4][5] On 6 and 7 July 2022, Real Madrid announced that Fabien Causeur and captain Sergio Llull had extended their contracts through 2024.

[8] On 14 July 2022, Real Madrid announced Džanan Musa, last season's ACB MVP, as the club's first signing in the post-Laso era.
