Nichola Yuen’s rapid start could threaten a record few thought would be broken

We are only 78 races and eight meetings into the 2026-27 season, but there are already signs that Nichola Yuen Hang-yiu could threaten a record that most thought would never be broken.

Before that remarkable season, the record was held by Matthew Chadwick, who recorded 43 wins back in 2008-09, which shows just how imperious Chau was that...

Benilde downs hapless San Sebastián

MANILA, Philippines — College of Saint Benilde did not allow San Sebastián College-Recoletos to crack into the win column after a 73-66 win in the crossover round of the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament on Monday afternoon at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City. San Sebastián controlled the game early for the first three frames, 54-51,  but Benilde pulled a fourth-quarter fiery surge, scoring 22 points in the final canto and limiting the Stags to just 16 points, 77-63. Alaine Cajucom led the scoring for the Blazers with 20 points along with five rebounds, two assists, and two steals.  “We know that San Sebastián will really fight in this game, so we remained aggressive. We pushed through, and we made sure to take the victory,” Cajucom said in Filipino.  Aside from Cajucom’s high-scoring output, Jhomel Anchet and Justine Sanchez added 14 and 12 markers, each, while Ian Torres and John Morales added 10 and seven points, apiece. Benilde improved to a 5-1 win-loss record, while the Golden Stags are still looking for their first victory, 0-6. Christian Ricio tried to put up a fight for San Sebastián with 15 points, and Kent Bacani added 16 markers, but it was not enough to overcome the Blazers.

Spurs' Harris questionable for regular-season opener after straining left calf

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs forward Tobias Harris will miss the preseason and is questionable for the start of the regular season after suffering a strained left calf during training camp. Harris, who signed as a free agent on July 6, did not participate in the team’s annual intrasquad Silver & Black scrimmage on Sunday. The 6-foot-8 power forward will be reevaluated following the team’s five-game preseason schedule. Team officials said Harris is questionable for the regular-season opener against Oklahoma City on Oct. 20 in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference Finals. Harris signed a two-year contract with San Antonio after spending the past two seasons with Detroit. He averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 27.7 minutes last season to help the Pistons finish atop the Eastern Conference standings.
