Clubul Sportiv Municipal Târgu Jiu is a professional basketball club from Târgu Jiu, Romania. Founded in 2017, it is the successor of Energia Târgu Jiu, dissolved in 2016.[1] In 2018, the team promoted to the Liga Națională, as the league merged with the Liga I.[2] The club currently competes in Romania’s Liga Națională.

For the 2024–25 season the team plays home games in Sala Sporturilor (capacity ~1,500) and has key imports like Khydarius Smith, Kaleb Higgins, Modibo Diaby, and local talents such as Andrei Bărăgan and Alexandru Berca.[3]
