history

Up to their promotion season 2006/07 the first men's team was called SG TV Dürkheim / BIS Speyer. After their promotion to the 2nd basketball Bundesliga ( 2nd Bundesliga ProB ), they renamed themselves BIS Baskets Speyer. After relegation in 2010, the BIS Baskets Speyer played in the 1st Regionalliga -Südwest. For the 2011/2012 season, the former player Carl Mbassa became the new head coach of BIS Baskets Speyer. He replaced the previous coach Reiner Chromik on the sidelines. Under his leadership, promotion was narrowly missed in the 2011/2012 season. Mbassa left the club after a year and moved as an assistant coach to USC Heidelberg in the 2nd Bundesliga ProA .

At the end of the 2012/2013 season, the Baskets were promoted back to the ProB . For the 2013/2014 season, Carl Mbassa returned to Speyer as head coach and took over his former position. In the following two seasons the class could be held, at the end of the ProB 2015/16 , however, one relegated to the regional league.

In the 2017/18 season Speyer was second in the table in the Regionalliga Südwest, the American Jordan Rezendes was the team's best thrower with an average of 25.4 points per match, followed by the three Spaniards Eduard Arques (19.5), Michael Acosta Marte (12.5) and Jordi Salto Sabate (11.5). Several top performers left the team in the summer break of 2018, including Rezendes, who moved to Cuxhaven , and Arques, who was signed by Bochum , but top-class newcomers were drawn as replacements: Long-time professionals Tim Schwarz , Dmitrij Kreis and Albert Kuppe came to Speyer. The US-American DJ Woodmore, who had already played in the 2nd Bundesliga ProB for Speyer from 2014 to 2016, was also brought back. Acosta was held, the British Kingsley Nwagboso came as a new signing for the big positions. Rheinpfalz.de described the newly formed team as the "best squad of all time". This lived up to the high expectations and won the championship title in the Regionalliga Südwest in the 2018/19 season. The top scorer of the championship team was Kuppe with 19.6 points per encounter.

In the summer of 2018, the association presented a new namesake. From then on, the first team and the JBBL team were given the nickname “Morgenstern” after the Speyer IT company Morgenstern Consecom GmbH. In the spring of 2019, the club presented a five-year plan that included the objective of reaching the championship round in the 2nd Bundesliga ProB in the 2020/21 season and playing for promotion to the basketball Bundesliga in 2024/25. At the beginning of June 2020, the end of the cooperation with Morgenstern Consecom GmbH was announced, the company withdrew due to the economic uncertainty triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic . From then on, the team was called BIS Baskets Speyer again. Several top performers left the team in the summer of 2020, including Albert Kuppe, Dimitrij Kreis, DJ Woodmore, Michael Acosta and Jordi Salto Sabate.
