Regular season

[edit]

Before the season, Dynamo and Leaders announced their withdrawal from the league for financial issues. The season started well for both Riyadi, Beirut and Sagesse. However, after Riyadi's shock loss to Antonine and Sagesse winning against Beirut in one of the most historical games in the league, Sagesse sat alone at the top until week 10, where they lost it after their loss against Antonine 80–79, and Riyadi is now sitting at the top
