No margin for error for Sheffield Sharks as British Basketball League invites fans to vote on All-Star Game

It is only the second game of a scheduled four in the group stage of the BBL Trophy, but already it has the feel of an elimination game for Sheffield Sharks and their Thursday night opponents, Caledonia Gladiators.

With just two teams advancing out of the five-team group to finals weekend, both Sheffield and Caledonia have no margin for error. Sharks lost their opener at Surrey Scorchers on Saturday, while Caledonia lost to both Cheshire Phoenix and Plymouth City Patriots last week.

That scenario heightens the importance of tonight’s fixture at the Canon Medical Arena (7.45pm tip-off).
