The new name sponsor (Metabox) had to abandon the project after only a couple of months, due to insufficient financial means.

BS Energy relinquished the right to name the club, but did not reduce the financial support, neither did the other two sponsors.

After beating the No.1 seed in the quarter finals 3:1, they were swept 3:0 by the Brose Baskets, who went on to win both, the championship and the midseason tournament, the German Cup.
