The 2014–15 season of Flamengo Basketball is the 95th season of the club, and the club's 7th in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).

Flamengo will play all NBB regular season games in Ginásio Álvaro Vieira Lima.

Offseason

The NBB defending champions started planning for the 2014-15 season with the signing of the former summer olympics gold medalist veteran argentinian forward Walter Herrmann, on July 24, 2014.[1]

On August 14, 2014 NBA officially confirmed that Flamengo would be playing against Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies in the 2014-15 pre-season games.[2] This will be the first time a South American basketball team plays against an NBA team in a pre-season game, as well as the first in North American soil.

In preparation to play 2014 FIBA Intercontinental Cup, 2015 FIBA Americas League and the 2014–15 NBB Flamengo re-signed Vítor Benite, Gegê Chaia, Olivinha, Jerome Meyinsse and one of the team stars Nicolás Laprovíttola, in order to keep the 2013-14 team base to the next season.

On September 23, 2014 the club signed former Los Angeles Lakers power forward Derrick Caracter, initially to be member the team's roster only for the 2014 FIBA Intercontinental Cup and the NBA pre-season tour.[3]

The season

The season started with the club winning FIBA Intercontinental Cup over Maccabi Tel Aviv, on aggregate, on a two-game series. Both games were played at HSBC Arena on September 26 and 28 and the Argentine Nicolás Laprovíttola were selected the competition MVP.[4]
