History

In 1995, basketball stopped being one of the sports practiced in the club, returning in 2012, just with the women's team.

In 2019, the men's team was refounded after 24 years. Sporting submitted a proposal to go directly into the 2019–20 Liga Portuguesa de Basquetebol with their men's team. In a league meeting in November of 2018 between all the league teams, Sporting's acceptance into the LPB was confirmed.
