The
2. Basketball Bundesliga is the second highest level
league of professional club
basketball in
Germany. Before the 2007–08 season, the
2. Basketball Bundesliga consisted of two geographical divisions (North and South). Since 2007 the 2. Basketball Bundesliga now consists of the two hierarchical leagues, named
ProA and
ProB. At the end of the season, the top two teams of the ProA qualify for the
Basketball Bundesliga and the teams positioned 15th and 16th are
relegated to the lower league ProB.
