The Vancouver Bandits welcomed the Brampton Honey Badgers on July 6. The Bandits are now 11-3 in the season after Sunday night’s win. As is the norm lately, there were roster changes announced ahead of the game. In addition to Kyle Mangas being placed on the suspended list for the NBA Summer League requirements with the San Antonio Spurs, Tyrese Samuel was away after signing with the Brooklyn Nets earlier in the week.

It came right down to the line, but the Vancouver Bandits pulled off the win over the Scarborough Shooting Stars on Tuesday July 1st, thanks to Zach Copeland starting and ending the game with buckets.  The Bandits are now 10-3 in the season, an incredible feat considering the continual shake up of personnel throughout the season.

The Vancouver Bandits faced the Saskatchewan Rattlers on June 28 following their second consecutive loss for the team this season. Saskatchewan entered the match up with 3 wins and 9 losses. This game marked the halfway point in the 24 game season. As it is the middle of the CEBL regular season, the roster continued to get shaken up. This time Kyle Mangas and Tyrese Samuel returned to the lineup, while James Karnik and Zach Copeland were both put on the suspended list for Summer League commit
