Webster sanctioned

The NBL acknowledges the decision of Basketball Australia (BA) to impose a two-game sanction on Perth Wildcats’ Corey Webster.
 
Basketball Australia’s integrity unit found Webster breached the Basketball Australia Code of Conduct for Elite-Level Participants pertaining to discrimination and vilification following a comment he made on social media.
 
The two-game sanction, which was accepted by Webster, includes one game already served on 19 September, with the second game suspended.
 
Any future breach by Webster will result in an automatic one-game ban, in addition to any new sanction(s).
 
In reaching its decision, BA noted the remorse shown by Webster, and his commitment to undertake diversity and inclusion training, as well as a donation to charitable organisations.
 
In January, 2023, the Basketball Australia Integrity Framework was updated to include the Code of Conduct for Elite Level Participants. This code is governed and operated by the Basketball Australia Integrity Unit and supported by the NBL.
