The former Tall Black Phill Jones had told the Australian National Basketball League that he wants his head butting charge dealt with by telephone.
The Cairns Taipans guard had until 7 o'clock tonight to respond and say whether he wanted to appear before a tribunal or have the charge heard in a conference call.
Match officials reported Jones, saying the Cairns Taipans guard headbutted a Sydney player Ben Madgen during his team's 76-75 loss to the last-placed Kings on Friday night.
The case will be heard tomorrow with a finding expected by Wednesday.
