BC Nevėžis (Lithuanian: Krepšinio Klubas Nevėžis) is a professional Lithuania basketball club which currently plays in Lithuanian Basketball League and Baltic Basketball League. BC Nevėžis was founded in 1992 by Stasys Mickevičius. In 1993 BC Nevėžis was renamed to KK Notra because of the club supporters UAB Notra. In 1999 because of the supporters changes, BC Notra was renamed to BC Nevėžis again until now. Club name came from the Nevėžis River, flowing through Kėdainiai city. The 2010–2011 LKL season was unsuccessful for BC Nevėžis as they took only 9th place in regular season and didn't qualify to LKL playoffs, because of that Egidijus Dimša and Rolandas Alijevas terminated their contract with BC Nevėžis and joined other LKL teams which qualified to the playoffs.
