Cheshire Phoenix vs Leicester Riders – Sunday, December 7 2025 

Following an incident at the end of the game between the Cheshire Phoenix and Leicester Riders on December 7 2025, Ben Thomas was investigated by the SLB Disciplinary Panel.  

After reviewing the incident, Ben Thomas received 15 penalty points for violent conduct from the Panel.

Super League Basketball operates a system of cumulative disciplinary points, and a one-game suspension comes into force whenever a person’s total penalty points reach (or exceed) each of the following totals: 10, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 etc.   

Coach Thomas will therefore be suspended for one game, and the suspension will be served for the SLB Championship fixture at home to the Newcastle Eagles on January 11 2026.
