The Series Needed GAME FIVE | Panathinaikos - Valencia | EuroLeague Basketball PLAYOFFS
Montero Took Over ATHENS | Panathinaikos - Valencia | EuroLeague Basketball PLAYOFFS Valencia forced Game 5 by grabbing an 86-89 victory over Panathinaikos on Friday night at Telekom Center Athens. Despite losing both the first two games at home, the Spanish side bounced back with two straight wins in Greece to bring the playoff series back to Valencia. Following a morale-boosting victory in Game 3, the visitors hit the ground running, with Jean Montero netting 10 first-quarter points for a 15-26 lead after 10 minutes. Valencia maintained a double-digit advantage until the closing stages of the second quarter, when Cedi Osman bagged 10 straight points that cut the deficit to 37-44 at halftime and shifted the momentum. A tight third quarter saw both defenses up their game before Nunn took over with 8 points in a row for Panathinaikos’s first lead in the last two games, 51-50. Yet, Valencia fought back and took a 56-60 edge into the fourth, where the two teams engaged in a trade of blows that saw the hosts struggle to find their range from deep and the guests protect a narrow advantage to seal a third consecutive victory in Athens this season. Montero pulled off an extraordinary outing, recording 29 points, 7 rebounds, as many assists and 4 steals. Osman paced Panathinaikos with 26 points and Nunn added 19 in a losing effort.

Nebraska Volleyball to Play UNLV and Texas at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in Players Era Event
Press Release Courtesy of Nebraska Athletics- Matchups have been announced for the Players Era Showcase in Las Vegas this summer. The Nebraska volleyball program will play in the first-ever Players Era Volleyball Showcase in Las Vegas this August to officially begin the regular season. The two-day event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 29 and Sunday, Aug. 30 at T-Mobile Arena. The Huskers will face UNLV on Aug. 29 and Texas on Aug. 30. Start times, TV and ticket information will be announced at a later date. TCU is also among the four teams in the event, and doubleheaders will be played both days. “Playing in the first volleyball Players Era event is an exciting opportunity for our program," Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly said. "Nebraska wants to be at the forefront of new events and opportunities for our players and our sport. Having the opportunity to face our long-standing rival, Texas, is the icing on the cake. Not only will Vegas be an amazing location to start our season, playing UNLV and Texas will set a tone from the beginning. We want to thank MGM and the Players Era for believing in volleyball and Nebraska to make this event possible.” Nebraska and UNLV have never played in volleyball. The Huskers are 33-25 all-time against Texas. The teams haven't played since the 2023 NCAA Championship match in Tampa, Fla., which Texas won 3-0. The last meeting between Nebraska and Texas during the regular season was Aug. 27, 2016, a 3-0 Husker victory at the VERT Challenge in Eugene, Ore. At the time, the Huskers were ranked No. 1 and the Longhorns were ranked No. 2 in that rematch of the 2015 NCAA Championship. BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT Players Era, a subsidiary of EverWonder Studio, was founded in 2024 to create a more equitable model for college sports that centers around valuing the players and expanding global fandom through the creation of first-of-their-kind world-class events. Players Era debuted with the 2024 Players Era Festival, which delivered a week-long celebration of college basketball – featuring exciting games and groundbreaking NIL activities for participating teams. Continuing its rapid expansion, in 2025 the annual showcase evolved into an 18-team Players Era Men’s Championship and the inaugural Players Era Women’s Championship, with both tournaments featuring the eventual national championship winning team. #HuskerVB #GBR #NebraskaVolleyball #bergenreilly #Harpermurray #andijackson #danibusboomkelly #huskervolleyball #HuskerSports #nebraska

Oilers Get Mixed News on Connor McDavid's Plans to Leave Edmonton
Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers has come under fresh scrutiny after a shocking first-round exit in the 2026 NHL Playoffs, when the Oilers fell to the Anaheim Ducks in Game 6. McDavid made his stance clear — he wants to win the Stanley Cup, saying, "The only thing that matters is competing for the big trophy. That's all that matters. And if I feel that that's here, then yeah" — leaving his future open to interpretation. After the loss, McDavid described Edmonton as "an average team all year" with high expectations, raising serious doubts about whether next season could be his last in an Oilers uniform. His two-year, $12.5M extension — deliberately structured below teammate Leon Draisaitl's $14M AAV — has fueled speculation that it was more of a carefully planned exit strategy than a long-term commitment to Edmonton. The Oilers face a pivotal offseason, and whether the McDavid departure narrative is overblown or not, it isn't going away. #ConnorMcDavid #EdmontonOilers #NHLNews #McDavidTrade #StanleyCup #OilersNation #NHL2026 #NHLPlayoffs #HockeyNews
REPORT: The Bucks wanted Evan Mobley & all the Cavs' future draft picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo
The Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly held discussions with the Milwaukee Bucks about a potential deal at this year’s trade deadline. The swap would have included Evan Mobley and all of Cleveland’s available draft picks for 10-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo. “There’s another Eastern Conference contender, however, that folks around the league are looking at as a potential Antetokounmpo landing spot,” said Jake Fischer per The Stein Line Substack. “Cleveland.” Antetokounmpo averaged 27.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game last year while shooting above 62% from the floor. He’s a generational talent whose development has proven to be second to none. For every ‘Giannis-like’ prospect that emerges, only one has actually blossomed into the athletic beast that Antetokounmpo has become. | https://www.fearthesword.com/cavs-news/49036/cavs-reportedly-spoke-to-bucks-on-mobley-for-giannis-trade Subscribe and ring the bell for the latest talk about the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Cavaliers and Ohio State Buckeyes: https://bit.ly/ucss_subscribe Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ultclesports Watch live on YouTube 11 a.m.-1 p.m. weekdays on YouTube and WKYC+ on your Roku and Fire TV apps!
