EASL: Injury-hit Meralco braces for Ryukyu clash

Newsome, meanwhile, strained his MCL during the PBA Philippine Cup semifinals and is unlikely to suit up for the Bolts’ most crucial EASL assignment. “I don’t see it happening. He will be joining us, though,” coach Luigi Trillo told the Inquirer. Rios hyperextended his knee in the same series, ruling him out of Wednesday’s matchup against the Ryukyu Golden Kings at […]...

MANILA, Philippines — Another Sandiganbayan division has declared businessman and former lawmaker Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co a fugitive from justice, ruling that his failure to surrender despite knowledge of the charges against him shows intent to evade the law, and that the alleged threats to his safety were unsupported and “can hardly be considered credible.” In a 16-page resolution dated February 3 but released on Wednesday, the anti-graft court’s Sixth Division partially granted the prosecution’s urgent ex parte motion, declaring Co a fugitive from justice but denying the request to expunge from the record the entry of appearance filed by his counsel.

Victor Wembanyama 'proving a point' with 40-point blitz vs Lakers

LOS ANGELES — Victor Wembanyama began his 40-point performance against the Lakers on Tuesday night with a 25-point first quarter. That relentless start was a direct message from both the San Antonio Spurs and their young superstar. Wembanyama is tired of the Spurs playing poorly against lesser opponents, and he took it on himself personally to make spectacularly quick work of a Lakers lineup missing nearly all of Los Angeles’ best players in San Antonio’s 136-108 victory. “What got me going was honestly proving myself a point, proving my team a point,” said Wembanyama, who also had 12 rebounds while […]...
