(UPDATES AS OF OCTOBER 18) MANILA, Philippines–The race for the Final Four spots in the UAAP Season 89 basketball tournaments continues as teams jockey for position in the elimination rounds. RELATED: UAAP SCHEDULE: Season 89 basketball tournament – second round Here are the latest UAAP Season 89 basketball standings in the men’s and women’s divisions.

CITY OF MALOLOS — Bulacan has launched its own pickleball league called the All-Star Champions Pickleball League and has started its first tournament over the weekend at the Capitol Gymnasium in Malolos City. More than 80 pickleball clubs and teams in the province participated in the tournament, said Vice Gov. Alexis Castro, who spearheaded the

MANILA, Philippines — Bella Belen unleashed another well-rounded game, pouring in 29 points to complete another Capital1 comeback against ZUS Coffee, 20-25, 25-17, 22-25, 25-20, 15-8, in the PVL All-Filipino Conference Siklab Series on Tuesday at Mall of Asia Arena. Fresh off a 35-point career-high, Belen delivered 25 kills and four blocks and defended the

TEAM standings: NU (5-2); UP (5-2); Adamson (4-3); UST (4-3); FEU (4-3); La Salle (3-4); Ateneo (3-4); UE (0-7) University of the Philippines (UP) aims to take one step ahead of the pack when it battles University of Santo Tomas (UST) in the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on Wednesday. Game time is 5 p.m. The Fighting Maroons currently share the No. 1 spot in the team standings with idle National University (NU) with identical 5-win, 2-loss records. A win by the Fighting Maroons will give them the solo lead but as setback would drop them in a tie with UST in second place. UP defeated University of the East (UE) last Saturday, 91-81, to end the first round with three straight wins. Against the winless Red Warriors, the Fighting Maroons were led by James Payosing with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Gani Stevens with 12 points and nine boards. “All the things we went through contribute to our growth,” said head coach Goldwin Monteverde. “We’re going to talk about our adjustments but everything, good or bad, it’s still a learning experience for the team which we need toward the second round.” UST is also coming off an impressive win last Saturday as it demolished Ateneo, 80-68. Collins Akowe powered the Growling Tigers with 18 points and 15 rebounds while Mark Llemit and Amiel Acido chipped in 15 points apiece. “We’ll just stick to the system and stay ready because sometimes one of our players wouldn’t find their rhythm but others step up,” said UST assistant coach Japs Cuan. In the 2:30 p.m. curtain-raiser, UE aims to score its first win of the season when it faces defending champion De La Salle University.

MANILA, Philippines–Alex Eala continues her campaign at the 2026 Ningbo Open facing a tough test against sixth seed Diana Shnaider in the Round of 16. Eala and Shnaider meet for the first time with a quarterfinal spot in the WTA 500 event at stake. Their match is scheduled for Thursday. Filipino World No. 20 returned

LEBRON James went to Philadelphia. Giannis Antetokounmpo moved to Miami. Kawhi Leonard returned to Toronto. A dozen or so former All-Star selections, the majority of them being former All-NBA picks, changed addresses this offseason as well. And they’re all chasing the New York Knicks. The 81st season of NBA play starts on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) with a tripleheader, highlighted by James and the 76ers heading to New York to face Jalen Brunson and the champion Knicks. They’ll get their championship rings before the game, see a banner swaying from the ceiling of Madison Square Garden and then get down to the task of doing something that nobody in the NBA has done for nearly a decade — repeat as title winners. The Knicks became the NBA’s eighth different champion in the last eight years, a run unprecedented in league history. They’re not the favorites to win the title this season; that role is shared by Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder. But the Knicks weren’t expected to win it all last season either, and NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Jalen Brunson points to the title as proof that words don’t have to matter. “There’s only potential distractions when you read and believe what people are saying,” Brunson said. “So, no matter what’s being said and no matter what’s been talked about, consistently or not, you believe what you want to believe, you hear what you want to hear. It’s on us as teammates, and individuals and professionals to understand what the nature of it is. ... The way we won was just because of how connected we were as a group. We’ve got to keep that.” There is no shortage of legitimate contenders, on both sides of the league. In the Eastern Conference, four of the last eight NBA Finals MVPs changed uniforms — Leonard returning to Toronto, Antetokounmpo going to Miami, and James and Jaylen Brown joining the Sixers. Detroit and Cleveland brought their rosters back virtually intact, as did the Knicks. Boston will plug Paul George into the hole created by Brown moving to Philadelphia and pair him with Jayson Tatum. Indiana gets Tyrese Haliburton back for the first time since losing Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals and expects to contend again. “From a team perspective, we don’t have any conversations about anything but winning a championship. That’s our goal. There’s nothing more to talk about,” Haliburton said. “There are no small wins. To me, the year’s successful if you win a championship. If not, it’s not.” And the Western Conference, as always, is loaded. Wembenyama and Gilgeous-Alexander are two of the game’s biggest stars, and the Spurs and Thunder lead the West pack. Nikola Jokic, always considered a serious contender for MVP honors, will try to get Denver back into title contention. Golden State still has Stephen Curry, the Los Angeles Lakers still have Luka Doncic, Houston is expected to contend with Kevin Durant leading the way, Portland finally will have Damian Lillard in uniform and Minnesota put together what’s expected to be an elite backcourt by pairing LaMelo Ball with Anthony Edwards. “New beginnings,” Ball said. “It’s literally a new story. We’re all excited here. It’s going to be fun.” The Spurs got to the NBA Finals last season after winning a Game 7 in Oklahoma City (OKC), ending hopes the Thunder had of being the league’s first back-to-back champion since the Warriors did it in 2017 and 2018. That loss, for certain, stung the Thunder. But the offseason in OKC was about getting ready for 29 opponents, not just the one in San Antonio. “We need to make sure that what we are doing is broad enough that it gives us a chance to be competitive across opponents, including ones that we are not aware that are going to be really good teams. That happens every single year,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “And so we need to be laser-focused on ourselves. We need to take the lessons from that series, for sure, and we did. But it’s certainly not something that we overcorrect for because you end up chasing your shadow, and it prevents you from being your best as you move forward.” There are six new coaches this season: Dusty May took his NCAA title won last spring with Michigan and moved to Dallas, Micah Nori takes over in Portland, Tiago Splitter will coach Chicago, Taylor Jenkins was tabbed to oversee the post-Giannis rebuild in Milwaukee, Sean Sweeney got the job in Orlando to replace Jamahl Mosley and Mosley will coach New Orleans. The NBA Cup final will move from Las Vegas to Indianapolis this year, the All-Star weekend is in Phoenix and there’s a No. 1 draft pick in AJ Dybantsa, who already is turning heads in Washington. But all eyes will eventually turn to June, and whoever will be the next team to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy.“We did something great last year,” Knicks wing Mikal Bridges said. “That was last year. I think the biggest thing coming into this year is that we know what it takes.”

SAN FRANCISCO, California — Angel Reese scored a game-high 30 points as the Atlanta Dream defeated the Golden State Valkyries, 79-65, to level their best-of-seven WNBA Finals series on Monday (Tuesday in Manila). Three-time WNBA All-Star and reigning defensive player of the year Reese delivered a huge performance at both ends of the court as Atlanta bounced back from their Game 1 defeat on Saturday. As well as leading the scoring, Reese also came up big on the defensive end with 16 rebounds, two blocks and a steal to subdue Golden State’s Chase Center home crowd. “I’m just doing whatever it takes to win,” Reese said in an on-court interview following the victory. “This environment is tough to play in. Shout out to the fans and shout to my team though — we came and fought. “Game 1 was tough for us, but we moved on and turned the page, and got back to who we are.” Reese received scoring support from Alisha Gray with 18 points while Jordin Canada also reached double figures with 13 points. Golden State’s Game 1 hero Gabby Williams was restricted to 14 points while Tiffany Hayes also finished with 14. The series now heads back to Atlanta for Game 3 on Wednesday, with Game 4 scheduled for Friday. Both teams are chasing a first WNBA title. The Dream have come up empty in three prior trips to the Finals, most recently in 2013. The Valkyries, who last year became the first WNBA expansion franchise to reach the playoffs in their inaugural season, are now contending for the title in their second.

SAN FRANCISCO, California — The San Francisco 49ers had appeared to be strolling toward a routine win after quarterback Brock Purdy found tight end George Kittle in the endzone to cap a nine-play 64-yard drive in the first quarter. Washington responded with a 51-yard field goal from Drew Stevens but San Francisco were soon leading by 10 points after McCaffrey rushed from the one-yard line to make it 13-3. Another close-range McCaffrey touchdown in the second quarter after a 14-play 69-yard drive took San Francisco into a 20-3 lead at half-time. A 33-yard field goal from Eddy Pineiro made it 23-3 to the 49ers early in the third quarter and seemingly on course for a comfortable victory. Washington though began fighting back late in the third quarter with Daniels hitting Stefon Diggs for a touchdown to make it 23-10. Daniels tossed a second touchdown midway through the fourth quarter when he found Rachaad White to help take the score to 23-17. The Washington defense forced San Francisco to punt twice on their next two possessions and that left the Commanders one last chance to snatch a winning score. That drive ended with Daniels sacked at the Washington 42-yard line to end the game.  AFP LISBON — Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a 30-day suspension for leaving the Portuguese national team camp, the country’s football federation (FPF) announced on Monday (Tuesday in Manila). The 41-year-old abruptly left the Portugal camp on Sept. 30 during the UEFA Nations League, before accusing coach Jorge Jesus of breaking his word about giving him game time. Ronaldo apologized to supporters earlier in October, adding he would accept any punishment that was imposed. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, who will also have to pay a fine of 255 euros ($286), has received the minimum penalty provided for in the federation’s regulations, which stipulate suspensions of between one and six months for leaving the national team. Ronaldo left Portugal’s squad after first being made to warm up as a substitute against Norway on Sept. 27 and not being brought on, and then finding out he would not start against Denmark in the match on Oct. 1. Ronaldo’s suspension takes effect from the day of the Denmark match, meaning he has already served 19 days of his ban and will complete it by the end of October. The FPF disciplinary committee said it took into account “the remorse shown in the statement” issued by Ronaldo on Oct. 6, in which he admitted his mistake and expressed his willingness to accept a punishment. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is Portugal’s all-time top goal scorer and record appearance-maker in men’s international football. But in his absence, Portugal won all four of their Nations League matches and qualified for the quarterfinals with two games to spare.

But in his absence, Portugal won all four of their Nations League matches and qualified for the quarterfinals with two games to spare. Portugal host Denmark on Nov. 14 and then travel to face Wales on Nov. 17 in their final two Nations League Group A4 matches — by which time Ronaldo will have served his suspension. In a social media post shortly after his walk-out, Ronaldo accused Portugal boss Jesus of breaking his word about giving him game time in Nations League matches but insisted he was not retiring from international duty. “I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team,” Ronaldo posted. He said Jesus had gone back on his word about bringing him on against Norway, and then in a press conference before the Denmark match had not said a series of points they had agreed upon during a conversation beforehand. One of Ronaldo’s preapproved talking points was that Jesus had “made a mistake in asking someone of the stature of Pele or Maradona to warm up and then not sending him on in the match.” Jesus, speaking several days later, said he would select Ronaldo for international duty if the forward was playing for his club Al Nassr, and was interested in being called up. Following the FPF’s announcement, Ronaldo did not directly react to the news on Instagram but did post a picture of himself preparing to train with his Saudi club, accompanied with the caption, “Putting in the work.” AFP

LAS VEGAS — LeBron James might have shifted the power in the Eastern Conference — and perhaps the NBA in general — when he ended eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers to sign with Philadelphia. The 76ers are consensus favorites — from 8-1 to 9-1 odds — in the East to win it all,

DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks waived longtime center Dwight Powell on Monday, likely ending his 12-year run with the franchise after he was the secondary piece in a trade that brought Rajon Rondo from Boston. Powell was a late add just as training camp started last month, raising the possibility of a 13th season with

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — The Charlotte Hornets have agreed on a five-year, $209 million contract extension with guard/forward Brandon Miller, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team had not announced the agreement. The 6-foot-7 Miller has averaged 19

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard Kevin Porter Jr. on Monday after a 2025-26 season in which he led the team in assists per game and ranked second in scoring. The move came ahead of Monday’s NBA roster deadline. The Bucks open their season Wednesday at Washington. Although injuries limited Porter to 38 games

LAS VEGAS — Sebastian Fundora kept his pursuit of an undisputed championship on track with a second to spare. Fundora stopped Ermal Hadribeaj with a left hand at 2:59 of the 12th round Saturday night at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to retain his WBC super welterweight title. Fundora (25-1-1, 17 KOs)

MANILA, Philippines–Iga Swiatek has withdrawn from the Ningbo Open a day before her scheduled round-of-16 match against Czech Marie Bouzkova on Wednesday.

PLDT stayed winless at 0-2.

Elina Svitolina announced on Monday she is divorcing fellow tennis star Gael Monfils after five years of marriage.

Akari finally put an end to its woes after turning back PLDT in its Set 3 fightback and securing its maiden win, 25-18, 25-19, 25-22, in the 2026 PVL Open Conference Siklab Series on Tuesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama isn't the only reason why French fans will be watching the NBA this season. Far from it. The opening night rosters in the NBA have been turned in — and there are 17 French players on those lists, the most of any international land. Canada, which has had more player representation than any other country outside of the U.S. over the last several years, has 16 players on opening night rosters. In all, there are 125 international players from a record-tying 43 countries on rosters to open this season. Of those, 70 are European. Australia has nine players on opening night rosters, followed by Germany (seven), and Nigeria and Serbia (six each). Every NBA roster has at least one international player, with Dallas, Miami and Washington leading the way with seven each. International players have taken the NBA's Most Valuable Player award in each of the last eight seasons, with Miami's Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greek, of Nigerian descent) winning for Milwaukee in 2019 and 2020; Denver's Nikola Jokic (Serbia) winning in 2021, 2022 and 2024; Philadelphia's Joel Embiid (Cameroon-born, now an American citizen) in 2023; and Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada) in 2025 and 2026. Homecoming games There was a ton of superstar-level player movement this offseason, with LeBron James going to Philadelphia, Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami, Kawhi Leonard back to Toronto and more. Here's a look at some notable return games by players headed back to former homes this season: — Oct. 21, Utah's Jaren Jackson Jr. returns to Memphis. — Nov. 10, Boston's Paul George returns to Philadelphia. — Nov. 18, Milwaukee's Tyler Herro returns to Miami (for the first Antetokounmpo vs. Bucks game, too.) — Nov. 19, Portland's Damian Lillard returns to Milwaukee. — Nov. 23, Brooklyn's Julius Randle returns to Minnesota. — Dec. 25, Philadelphia's LeBron James returns to Los Angeles to face the Lakers. — Jan. 21, Philadelphia's Jaylen Brown returns to Boston. — Jan. 28, Miami's Antetokounmpo returns to Milwaukee. — Feb. 6, Portland's Ja Morant returns to Memphis. — Feb. 15, Minnesota's LaMelo Ball returns to Charlotte. Player stat targets of note — Cleveland's James Harden is 661 points from becoming the ninth player in NBA history with 30,000. He'll also likely become the 11th player with 9,000 assists; he's 127 away there. — Houston's Kevin Durant (32,597) is 1,046 points away from matching the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant for No. 4 on the NBA's career scoring list. — Denver's DeMar DeRozan (26,711) enters this season 16th on the scoring list and Golden State's Stephen Curry (26,528) is 19th. It's well within the realm of possibility that they're near No. 10 Shaquille O'Neal (28,596) by season's end. — Miami's Klay Thompson is 74 3-pointers from tying Ray Allen (2,973) for third on the all-time list, behind only Curry and Harden. Jokic chasing history If Denver's Nikola Jokic finishes in the top two of the MVP balloting — something he's done in each of the last six years — he'd set a record. Nobody has done that seven years in a row. Jokic won the award in 2021, 2023 and 2024, plus was second in 2022, 2025 and 2026. He's the third player with six consecutive top-two finishes. Boston's Bill Russell won in 1958, 1961, 1962 and 1963, while finishing second in 1959 and 1960. Another Celtics legend, Larry Bird, was second in 1981, 1982 and 1983 before winning in 1984, 1985 and 1986. Many Indy milestones await Indiana's first win this season will be a cause for celebration — it'll be the Pacers' milestone 2,000th victory in regular-season play since joining the NBA. The Pacers also had 427 regular-season wins in their ABA era. The Pacers' Rick Carlisle is scheduled to coach his 2,000th regular-season game on March 8 against Charlotte. He needs 65 games to hit 2,000; that game is the 63rd on Indiana's current schedule, which doesn't account for two that will be added as the NBA Cup tournament plays out. Carlisle is 30 wins from tying Rick Adelman (1,042) for 10th-most in NBA history. Coaching, team milestones to watch A few other milestones that could be reached this season: — Miami's Erik Spoelstra is two wins shy of tying Cotton Fitzsimmons (832) for 16th on the NBA's all-time list for coaches. Spoelstra is also 34 wins shy of matching one of his idols, Jack Ramsay, for 15th; Ramsay won 864 games in his career. — Golden State’s Steve Kerr will likely climb into the top 25 on the coaching wins list. Kerr enters the season 28th with 603 regular-season victories, 10 behind No. 27 Mike Dunleavy, 25 behind No. 26 Doug Moe and 35 behind No. 25 Chuck Daly. — All of Kerr’s wins have come with the Warriors; only Gregg Popovich (1,390 with San Antonio), Jerry Sloan (1,127 with Utah), Spoelstra (830 with Miami), Red Auerbach (795 with Boston), Red Holzman (613 with New York) and Phil Jackson (610 with the Lakers) won more with one team. Kerr is obviously well within reach of Holzman and Jackson on that list. — Orlando's 33rd game of the season, which would be Dec. 31 at Indiana, will be the 3,000th regular-season contest in Magic history. New Orleans' 68th game, currently set for March 12 at home against Toronto, will be No. 2,000 in Pelicans history. — The Los Angeles Lakers' 34th game this season (Dec. 31 at New Orleans) will be their 7,000th in franchise history, including playoffs.
