History
KK Primorska was founded in 2016 by the merger of KK Lastovka and ŠD Koš Koper.[1] The team finished in seventh place in its debut season in the Slovenian national league.
In its second season, Sixt Primorska competed in the second-level regional league, ABA League Second Division, where they lost in the final against KK Krka.[2] During the 2018–19 season, Sixt Primorska won a historic "quadruple" after winning the national title, domestic cup, domestic supercup, and ABA League Second Division. As the result, they earned a place in the ABA League for the 2019–20 season.[3]
Before the 2019–20 season, the club changed its name to Koper Primorska.[4] On 5 June 2020, the club lost the license from the Basketball Federation of Slovenia.[5]
