Luka Dončić Drops 32 as Lakers Roll Past Bucks 123–112 for Seventh Straight Win Despite Late Ankle Scare

The Los Angeles Lakers continued their dominant start to the season on Wednesday night, defeating the struggling Milwaukee Bucks 123–112 at Fiserv Forum to extend their winning streak to seven games.

Luka Dončić paced Los Angeles with 32 points, five rebounds, and five assists, while Sandro Mamukelashvili provided a massive spark off the bench with 23 points, knocking down five three-pointers. Austin Reaves added 18 points and five assists, and Walker Kessler anchored the paint with a 10-point, 11-rebound double-double.

After holding a narrow 61–50 halftime lead, the Lakers broke the game open in the third quarter, outscoring Milwaukee 33–23 to build a commanding 21-point cushion. Los Angeles capitalized on the Bucks' sloppy ball handling throughout the night, turning 17 Milwaukee turnovers into 28 points, while the Lakers' second unit outscored the Bucks' reserves 53–41.

Tyler Herro led Milwaukee with 27 points and seven assists, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. contributed 25 points in the losing effort.

The victory improves the Lakers to a league-best 11–2, while the Bucks suffer their eighth consecutive loss to fall to 1–11. However, the win was slightly dampened by injury concerns for Los Angeles, as both Reaves (left heel) and Dončić (twisted ankle) exited the contest early—though Dončić's injury is initially believed to be minor.

Rhenz Abando Returns and Bennie Boatwright Debuts in Gilas Pilipinas Fifth Window Pool

​Gilas Pilipinas head coach Tim Cone formally unveiled the national pool for the upcoming fifth window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers on Wednesday, highlighted by the much-anticipated return of high-flying swingman Rhenz Abando and the debut of naturalized big man Bennie Boatwright.

Calvin Abueva Fined for Obscene Gesture and Flopping, Hints at Retirement from PBA

​Converge FiberXers veteran forward Calvin Abueva made double headlines on Wednesday, receiving disciplinary sanctions from the PBA Commissioner's Office before publicly hinting that he may walk away from professional basketball at the end of the season. Commissioner Willie Marcial slapped the 38-year-old forward with hefty fines following his ejection in Converge's series-clinching Game 4 quarterfinal win over Rain or Shine, penalizing Abueva for flashing an obscene middle-finger gesture toward opposing rookie Felix Lemetti and committing a blatant flop earlier in the contest. Hours after meeting league officials, Abueva posted cryptic messages on his social media platforms suggesting he is ready to hang up his sneakers, writing that his current playoff run might mark his final ride.

Ryan Garcia 'Announces' February 6 Bout vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr., Vows to Hospitalize 50–0 Legend

​WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia ignited widespread controversy across the combat sports landscape on Wednesday, publicly declaring that he has agreed to face 49-year-old Hall of Fame legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. on February 6 in Las Vegas. In a fiery, explicit video announcement, the 28-year-old Garcia insisted the contest will not be an unjudged exhibition but a fully sanctioned professional prizefight with Mayweather’s 50–0 record and Garcia's green-and-gold belt on the line, declaring: "I'm going to take his zero... I want to put him in the hospital for two days." While Garcia’s camp asserts terms are settled, significant hurdles remain, notably whether the Nevada State Athletic Commission would sanction a competitive welterweight championship bout featuring a nearly 50-year-old fighter who has not boxed professionally since 2017. Furthermore, ongoing legal disputes between Mayweather and promotional outfits over prior scheduled exhibition tours in Greece and the Middle East continue to cloud official regulatory approval.

Junto Nakatani and Ramon Cardenas could be heading toward a showdown in early 2027 after Cardenas' promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, confirmed that a verbal agreement has been reached with Nakatani's promoter, Akihiko Honda.

Nakatani is looking to bounce back from his first career defeat against Naoya Inoue in May, while Cardenas, who previously knocked down Inoue before losing by eighth-round TKO in 2025, is aiming for another major opportunity. The fight is being targeted for the first quarter of 2027, but no official date or venue has been announced.

George, Tatum Lead Celtics Past Brown and 76ers in Blockbuster Rematch

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics spoiled Jaylen Brown's highly anticipated reunion against his former team, cruising to a dominant 123-101 road victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

In their first regular-season clash since the seismic offseason trade that swapped Brown for Paul George, Boston improved to 9-2 behind a sharp perimeter attack. George stole the show in his return to Philadelphia, erupting for a game-high 36 points and six three-pointers, while Tatum delivered an efficient 21 points, six rebounds, and four assists.

Tensions were evident before tipoff as Brown gave Tatum the cold shoulder after nine seasons together in Boston. Once the game began, foul trouble and Boston's defense kept Brown in check, limiting him to 13 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes.

Boston buried 22 three-pointers as a team to pull away comfortably. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia (9-3) with 24 points, while Joel Embiid added 16 and LeBron James chipped in 11. The Atlantic Division rivals will meet again in Boston on January 21.

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel stormed into the PBA Governors' Cup semifinals after crushing the San Miguel Beermen, 110–94, in a winner-take-all Game 5 at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

The Gin Kings successfully halted the Beermen's attempt at a historic 0–2 reverse sweep by overcoming a 13-point deficit late in the third quarter. Sparked by a crowd taunt from San Miguel import George King, Ginebra answered with a devastating 29–2 explosion spanning the final two frames to completely take control of the match.

The Beermen's offense completely deflated when George King fouled out with 5:13 remaining in the game, allowing Ginebra to comfortably cruise to the finish line. Jordan Murphy anchored the Gin Kings' attack with a dominant double-double of 31 points and 11 rebounds, while Scottie Thompson triggered the decisive fourth-quarter breakaway to finish with 29 points and 11 boards. With the hard-fought 3–2 series victory secured, head coach Tim Cone and the Gin Kings officially advance to the semifinals to face off against the top-seeded TNT Tropang Giga.
