SK Petrochema (Lithuanian: Sporto Klubas Petrochema; English: Sports Club Petrochema), also known as Petrochema-Dextera for sponsorship reasons, is a basketball club based in Jonava, Lithuania. The club was officially founded in 1999, and has been playing in the second–tier Lithuanian basketball league NKL (formerly known as LKAL) since its inception.

History

The first basketball club in Jonava known as "Statyba" was founded in 1969. In 1980, a furniture enterprise started sponsoring the team. At the end of the season, BC Jonava won the Lithuanian second–tier league basketball championship. A decade later, the historic Jonava basketball club ceased to exist, and was replaced by the sports club "Triobet" in 1999.[1]
