The Endesa League market for the 2021-22 season is already in full swing. A course that will be very different from the previous one since the return of the public to the pavilions is expected. In addition, they will return to the 18-team championship after the 19 last year: only one club has risen since LEB Oro (Leche Río Breogán) and two have descended, Acunsa Gipuzkoa and Movistar Estudiantes, who leave the elite of Spanish basketball for the first time in its 74-year history.
