Bàsquet Menorca has faced persistent roster difficulties during the early stages of the Spanish basketball season. Following an initial loss to Alacant, the team struggled with limited depth, operating with only nine players due to the delayed arrivals of Gerónimo Rubio de la Rosa and AJ Slaughter—the latter facing visa issues—and the absence of Aleksandar Cvetkovic.

As the season progressed, the team's roster challenges intensified. Following eliminations from the Copa España, Menorca sought its first victories of the week while managing further personnel setbacks, including a season-ending injury to Javi López and the absence of Prince Ali. 

In a subsequent matchup, the team suffered its second defeat, losing 64-81 to Alacant. Under coach Javi Zamora, the squad struggled with absences that affected perimeter play, though Wildens Leveque recorded a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds.
