ASK Rëga is a former professional basketball club that was based in Riga, Latvia. "ASK" stood for "Armijas Sporta Klubs" (in English: Army Sports Club).
BK Rëga was then founded in 2004 as an attempt to revive the defunct club Rëgas ASK which was founded in 1931 and considered the most successful Latvian club on international level. BK Riga got back the original name of ASK Rëga on March 23, 2006, which was supported by the Riga City Council, the National Latvian Army Forces, and some powerful sponsors, as well as the brand new ArÃÂna Rëga, with room for 12,500 fans.
The team then made it to both the Baltic League and the FIBA EuroCup quarterfinals, but the best was yet to come. The arrival of Torraye Braggs happened to be the key piece in a roster already featuring Sandis Valters, Raitis Grafs, Curtis Millage, A.J. Bramlett, and Sandis Buà ¡kevics. ASK won the best-of-seven 2006âÂÂ07 Latvian League finals 4âÂÂ2, and started a new era for the club, breaking BK Ventspils's seven-year Latvian League dynasty. ASK hosted the EuroCup's 2007âÂÂ08 opening game, but a plague of injuries did not allow the team to reach the competition's elimination rounds. In that season same 2007âÂÂ08 season, ASK Rëga finished fourth in the Baltic League, and also finished in 3rd place in the Latvian League. The 2008âÂÂ09 season was the last season of ASK Rëga to date.
ASK Rëga played its home games at the 12,500 seat ArÃÂna Rëga.
