Australia is once again the FIBA Asia Cup champion after beating China in a down-to-the-wire game last Sunday night at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
After trailing by as many as 15 points in the first half, Australia mounted a comeback led by Xavier Cooks, who finished with 30 points and 9 rebounds. Jaylin Galloway added 23 points and William Hickey contributed 15, including the go-ahead basket late in the fourth quarter.
A missed three-point attempt by China’s Mingxuan Hu at the buzzer sealed the victory for Australia. With the win, the Boomers became just the second team in FIBA Asia Cup history to achieve a “three-peat” and extended their undefeated streak in the tournament to 18 games.
Russia has “partially” blocked certain calling features on the messaging applications Telegram and WhatsApp. This action was taken in response to these platforms allegedly being used “to deceive and extort money, and to involve Russian citizens in sabotage and terrorist activities.”
According to a report by Associated Press, the measure was implemented because these platforms are being “used to deceive and extort money, and to involve Russian citizens in sabotage and terrorist activities.” The statement did not specify which calling features were affected, but reports from Russian users indicate that both voice and video calls may be impacted.
This is the statement from WhatsApp related to the Russian government’s attempt to block the service.
Our statement on the news about the Russian government's attempt to block WhatsApp:
WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people’s right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over 100 million…
Threads, Meta’s Twitter/X clone, was able to achieve this in less than 3 years, which is impressive considering that it took Twitter, now X, 16 years to reach the 400 million monthly active user milestone.
After the miraculous win against Saudi Arabia, I expected that Gilas would at least give the Australian team a hard time. Instead, Australia gave Gilas a basketball clinic on both offense and defense.
Just look at the game stats and boxscore; five Australian players scored in double digits, while only three did for Gilas: Kevin Quiambao (16 points), Justin Brownlee (13 points), and AJ Edu (13 points).
Full Game Highlights
Australia advances to the semifinals, where they await their next opponent. For Gilas, this is the end of the road until the next FIBA games.

The Indiana Fever suffered a 1-point loss to the Dallas Wings, falling 81-80 in a close matchup. Maddy Siegrist led the Wings with a career-high 22 points in her first start since June 6. Paige Bueckers had another impressive all-around performance with 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Li Yueru added 20 points off the bench.
The Fever played catch-up for most of the game, briefly leading by six points (46-52). However, the Wings went on a dominant 32-9 run, building a 17-point lead (78-61) in the middle of the fourth quarter. The Fever managed to cut the lead to just one point with 33.4 seconds left, but Kelsey Mitchell missed a 15-foot pull-up jumper that could have secured the win.
Mitchell led the Fever with 24 points and 6 rebounds. Sophie Cunningham and Aliyah Boston each added 14 points, and Natasha Howard had another double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Chloe Bibby had her highest production as a member of the Fever, scoring 11 points in just 11 minutes of play. The Fever were without their star point guard Caitlin Clark, who is reportedly “progressing from an injured right groin but still is not practicing” with the team.
Next for the Fever will be against the Washington Mystics while the Wings will host the Sparks, both games will be this Friday.
Ryan Reynolds has been teasing the Avengers logo with an Anarchist symbol painted over it for some time now. Before it appeared during the production of the Deadpool & Wolverine film, and an anarchist Avengers cap also surfaced.
But this time, Reynolds just posted this image on his Instagram account: it’s the Avengers logo that’s been spray-painted with a red, anarchist-style ‘A’ symbol (see below). The timing of this IG post is suspicious, since the Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production and may already be in the half-way mark.
Whatever this means is anyone’s guess. Even though Reynolds was not included in the announced cast, it’s not a far-fetched idea that he will be in the film, perhaps in the later half of the production.
In the end, the Anarchy-Avengers may just be a marketing ploy until Marvel officially announces that Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds is included in an upcoming Avengers film.
In a recent Facebook post by Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) to Filipino domestic workers in Saudi Arabia, that they take advantage of the six-month grace period for those with irregular status announced by Saudi Government. This window, spanning from May 11 to November 10, 2025, allows workers to legalize their employment without facing any fines or penalties.
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and its Secretary, Hans Cacdac, are strongly encouraging all affected Filipino workers to immediately contact the Migrant Workers Office (MWO) in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Al Khobar. The MWO will provide guidance on how to navigate the process using the Musaned system, which is managed by the Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.
This initiative provides a safe and legal pathway for workers to regularize their status with the full support of the Philippine government. For assistance and more details, workers are advised to get in touch with their nearest MWO.
Gilas Pilipinas secured a spot in the FIBA Asia Cup quarterfinals with a thrilling 95-88 overtime victory against host Saudi Arabia. The game was a tense affair, with Gilas needing a clutch three-pointer from Justin Brownlee in the final seconds of regulation to force the extra period.
Here’s a look back at the clutch three-pointer from Justin Brownlee.
Brownlee was the hero of the night, finishing with a game-high 29 points. Young guns Kevin Quiambao and AJ Edu also stepped up, scoring 17 points each and hitting key shots in overtime to seal the win. The victory was a hard-fought one, spoiling a stellar 33-point performance by Saudi Arabia’s Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman and 34 points by Mohammed Alsuwailem.
Game High Lights
Gilas will now face two-time defending champion Australia in the quarterfinals this Wednesday at 2:00 in the afternoon, local time.
Even though the Fever were without their three point guards, they handed the Sky a 22-point beating (92–70).
Four of the Indiana Fever’s starters scored in double digits: Aliyah Boston with 15 points, Kelsey Mitchell with 26 points (4-of-8 from the three-point line) and 8 assists, Sophie Cunningham with 16 points (3-of-6 from the three-point line), and Lexie Hull with 17 points (4-of-6 from the three-point line). Natasha Howard also contributed 7 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks. The bench also made an impact, especially on the defensive end, with three steals and two blocks. Makayla Timpson added 7 points off the bench.
Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are both out with season-ending injuries from their last game against Phoenix. Colson suffered a torn left ACL, while McDonald had a broken bone in her right foot. Caitlin Clark is also still out with a groin injury.

If you do not want the non-Caitlin stuff, you can jump to 10:16 mark of the view or just play the video below. 🙂
This week, we welcome the one and only Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever. Caitlin opens up about so much, starting with her iconic run at Iowa and making two NCAA Championship games, and how she stayed grounded while becoming a household name. Caitlin also shares how she’s learning to adjust to the physicality and defensive tactics of the WNBA, her “risk assessment” in the passes she makes and shots she takes, and why the Fever have been the perfect organization to start her career. She also candidly discusses what it’s been like dealing with her injuries this season — including what she’s missing most about being on the court, but also what she’s come to learn from the sideline and how she thinks her career will benefit going forward. Caitlin also explains how she manages the high praises and harsh criticisms she receives, before closing with her top three shots of her career.
In a stunning turn of events at the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup in Jeddah, Gilas Pilipinas suffered a disappointing 95-87 loss to Chinese Taipei in their opening game. The Philippine national team was on the back foot from the start, trailing by as much as 17 points in the first quarter and struggling to contain a hot-shooting Chinese Taipei squad.
Despite a valiant comeback effort, Gilas couldn’t overcome the early deficit. Justin Brownlee led the charge with 19 points before fouling out in the final minutes, a major blow to the team’s rally. Kevin Quiambao provided a spark off the bench with 17 points, while Scottie Thompson and Dwight Ramos added 12 points apiece, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win. Chinese Taipei’s Chen Ying-Chun was the star of the show, erupting for a game-high 34 points, including six triples, to seal the victory. The loss puts Gilas in a difficult position as they now face a must-win situation against New Zealand in their next match.
The Los Angeles Sparks snapped the Indiana Fever’s five-game winning streak with a decisive 100-91 victory at the Crypto.com Arena. The Sparks’ potent offense was on full display, with Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson leading the charge, each scoring 25 points. Plum also dished out a game-high 11 assists, notching her second double-double of the season. Cameron Brink, playing her third game back from an injury, tied her career high with five blocks.
Indiana, who had been red-hot coming into the matchup, was led by Kelsey Mitchell’s 34 points and six assists, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Sparks’ balanced attack and defense. The Fever got off to a strong start, taking a one-point lead after the first quarter (27-26), but Los Angeles took control with a 28-point second quarter and never looked back. While Indiana mounted a late comeback, trimming a 22-point deficit down to just six with two minutes left in the game (95-89), they were unable to overcome the Sparks’ lead.
Full Game Highlights
Indiana is on the tail-end of a five-game road trip, with their last game against the Phoenix Mercury this Thursday. The LA Sparks will also host the Connecticut Sun on Thursday.
The Indiana Fever continued their impressive run, securing their fifth consecutive victory with a gritty 78-74 win over the Seattle Storm at Climate Pledge Arena on Sunday night.

The Fever were led by a stellar performance from Natasha Howard, who scored 21 points with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Aliyah Boston continued her dominant form, notching another double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, proving crucial down the stretch scoring nine-straight points in the fourth quarter.
It was close game but the Fever was able to build an 8-point lead (42-34) at halftime, fueled by strong offensive contributions from Howard and Cunningham, and the rest of the team, Indiana was able to extend the lead to 13-points mid-3rd quarter. Seattle, however, refused to back down, made a significant push at the end of third quarter and all of the 4th quarter. Storm even cut the lead to just 1 point via Dominique Malonga’s inside play with 12.2 seconds left in the game (75 – 74). Then Kelsey Mitchell made a late layup with 8.21 seconds remaining to give Indiana a 3-point cushion. Aliyah Boston added a key free throw in the closing seconds to ice the game.
The Storm, led by Nneka Ogwumike’s 16 points, followed by Skylar Diggins’ 13 points, Gabby Williams (12 points, 9 rebounds), and Dominique Malonga (12 points).

Their tactical approach paid off, as they swiftly took control of the series.
