Mogi das Cruzes was founded in 1995, but ended operations in 2005 due to financial problems. In 2011, the club returned to activity governed by an entirely new board. In the same year, the team qualified for the first division of the
São Paulo State Championship. The tradition of basketball in
Mogi das Cruzes started when the team played in the finals series of the São Paulo State Championship in 2003, against
COC/Ribeirão Preto, which was one of the strongest teams in Brazil at the time. COC/Ribeirão Preto was led by the
head coach Lula Ferreira. The series was won by COC/Ribeirão Preto. In 2012, Mogi das Cruzes finished in third place in the
Southeast Super Cup, and thus obtained a spot in the
Brazilian Super Cup. The team won the Brazil Super Cup, returning to the top-tier level league of Brazilian basketball, the
NBB. ==Roster==
