Jay Anderson, the forward who was injured in the team's first game, missed the entire season and was replaced by Luke McKenna.

In the first round of the playoffs, BC Mures were paired against league leaders Asesoft Ploiesti. After losing the first away game by a narrow margin, they were defeated on their home court in an elimination game. Playing for the 5-8th place with playmaker JuJuan Cooley out, the team did not get another win, cementing their position as eighth in the league.
Major Squad changes after end of season
The Romanian Basketball Federation decided to increase the number of participants for the 08–09 season from 14 clubs to 16 clubs. In this case none of the clubs that played in the last season relegated to div. 2. CS Energia Rovinari and CSS ``U`` Craiova are the two new summer clubs that will complete the Romanian Basketball Division A team list. After the folding of the Rm.Valcea club there were only 15 teams left to start the championship race.
