FEU, after all, is the only team to have beaten the UST Tigresses in the current UAAP Season 87 women's volleyball tournament. The Tigresses have won four straight since losing to the Lady Tamaraws.
Meanwhile, in the PVL, Savi Davison is making waves with PLDT. The high-flying open spiker has been an integral part of the team's dominant campaign, and with the championship still in the realm of pissibility, she is set on delivering a title to her squad.
Over in basketball, history was made as LeBron James became the first player in NBA history to surpass 50,000 career points. The milestone cements James' legacy as one of the greatest to ever play the game. His latest feat came amidst a pivotal moment for the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been making headlines with their latest roster moves. The Lakers, who are still in championship contention, have seen a shift in momentum, and James has been relishing the recent trade involving Luka Dončić. According to reports, James is clearly reveling in how the move has strengthened their title hopes.
