Victor Wembanyama injury update for Spurs vs. Lakers NBA Cup game

Sport 3 Mins Read

There was a different energy when Victor Wembanyama entered the practice gym with a trio of injured San Antonio Spurs players earlier this week, coach Mitch Johnson told reporters before the team’s most recent win over the New Orleans Pelicans, and he made one promise regarding his 7-foot-5 center.

‘He’s going to be on that plane to LA, for sure. He better be,’ Johnson said.

Wembanyama is nearing a return to the court for the first time in almost a month as the Spurs (16-7) get set to face the Los Angeles Lakers (17-6) in an NBA Cup West quarterfinal game on Wednesday, Dec. 10. The third-year French star is making progress, joining his Spurs teammates on their current road trip and participating in multiple workouts in recent days.

San Antonio recently welcomed 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle and big man Luke Kornet back to the lineup from injury. Will Wembanyama join them and play in the opening knockout round of the league’s in-season tournament?

Here’s the latest update on Wembanyama’s injury situation, as well as his game status when the Spurs play the Lakers in the 2025 NBA Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday:

Is Victor Wembanyama playing today?

No, Wembanyama will miss Wednesday’s contest. He was listed as out on the Spurs’ latest injury report on Tuesday, Dec. 9 ahead of their NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has missed the team’s previous 11 games.

Victor Wembanyama injury update

Wembanyama joined the team in New Orleans after not traveling to start this current road trip and was a full participant in a practice on Sunday, according to the San Antonio Express-News. He then did a workout after the team’s morning shootaround on Monday and warmed up before the Spurs’ game against the Pelicans. Johnson noted, however, that the team would not place added importance on Wednesday’s game being part of the NBA Cup in terms of determining Wembanyama’s potental return.

Wembanyama appeared in just 46 games last season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

Victor Wembanyama stats

Wembanyama was off to a strong start in his third NBA season, leading the league in blocks again (3.6 per game) and ranking second in rebounds (12.9). The 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year is averaging a career-best 26.2 points while shooting better than 50% from the floor through 12 games of the 2025-26 season.

Shedeur and Shilo Sanders address Shedeur’s ‘thong’ in Browns game

Sport 2 Mins Read

  • A viral image led to speculation that Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders was wearing a thong during a game.
  • Shedeur Sanders clarified the image actually showed tape for a previous back injury.
  • Shilo Sanders, who is out of football, is now pursuing music, acting, and brand deals.

Shedeur and Shilo Sanders have gotten to the bottom of one of the biggest mysteries this week in the NFL.

Was Shedeur, the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback, wearing a thong under his uniform during a 31-29 loss against the Tennessee Titans on Dec. 7?

It kind of looked like it, according to a screen shot after one play. Shilo, his older brother, conducted a not-so-serious investigation about it and then posted the findings on YouTube.

“Let’s cut to the business, bro,” Shilo said to Shedeur by phone. “Did you wear a thong or not?”

“Come on bro,” Shedeur replied.

“What’s going on with you, bro?” Shilo persisted.

“You forget I have a back injury, right?” Shedeur said. “So I get my back taped. So it is crazy that I did look like that… That is funny, though.”

Shedeur suffered a fractured back during the 2023 season at Colorado.  Shilo and Shedeur are sons and former players of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders.  

What is Shilo Sanders doing now?

Shilo is out of football after being waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the season. In the video, he said he is moving from Tampa to Miami, where he said he is looking for a chef to cook for him and has been working on a rap album. He also said he was considering acting classes and has been doing YouTube videos and brand deals.

Shilo filed for bankruptcy in 2023 in a case that remains pending.  In general, he is entitled to earnings he made after the filing.

“In the future, I definitely want to build that up – the music and the acting, the modeling, all that,” he said.

Shilo modeled with his brother in Paris in January 2024.

CFP bracket ideas: Change format, and boot some committee members

Sport 3 Mins Read
  • Why do athletic directors need to be on CFP committee? Answer: They don’t.
  • Alabama, Miami were fine playoff picks, but process became a farce.
  • Pick the 12 best teams for CFP bracket. Period.

Did the College Football Playoff committee get the bracket right? Well, that depends on your perspective and your rooting interests. The bubble got awfully crowded, so not everyone was going to come away happy.

Overall, Alabama and Miami seem like fair choices, but the course the committee charted to reach that destination became an exercise of the absurd.

On this edition of ‘SEC Football Unfiltered,’ a podcast from the USA TODAY Network, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams offer their biggest grievances with this bracket — and with this committee — and propose a different way to approach the playoff.

Here are four thoughts about how to improve the system:

∎ Is this season proof that playoff expansion is necessary? No. There’s an argument for 16 teams. It’s a worthy idea, but there’s also a case for staying at 12, with format alterations.

∎ Whether 12 or 16 teams, how should the bids be allocated? Get rid of automatic bids. Conferences have become so big that conference championships are no guarantee of pitting the league’s two best teams against one another. Also, with apology to the little guy, no conference should be guaranteed a bid. That includes the Group of Five. Pick the best teams, period. No automatic bids. All at-large selection.

∎ So, that means keeping the committee? Yes, but with changes to the construction of the committee. No sitting or former athletic director should be allowed on the committee. There’s nothing about being an AD that makes you an expert at ranking football teams. Also, athletic directors give off the appearance of bias, if not outright inserting bias. ADs have big jobs. CFP committee chairman Hunter Yurachek had to hire a football coach at Arkansas while being the front man of the selection process. That’s an inappropriate ask, and it’s unfair to fans to have someone juggle a coaching search and a selection process.

∎ So, who would be on the committee? Boot the ADs, and come up with a mix of former coaches and media members. Perhaps, include an analytics nerd, as well. If this sounds crazy, remember that for many, many years, the national championship was awarded based on AP (media) and coaches’ polls. So, removing ADs in favor of coaches and media to devise the CFP rankings aligns with the sport’s history.

Also in this episode

∎ The hosts discuss potential playoff upsets, and they predict the national champion, offering divergent choices.

Big 12 commissioner says Notre Dame AD’s criticism of ACC is ‘egregious’

Sport 4 Mins Read

Notre Dame’s exclusion from the College Football Playoff marked the end of the season for coach Marcus Freeman’s team, but the beginning of a war of words.

On Monday, fewer than 24 hours after the Fighting Irish didn’t see their name revealed on the 12-team playoff bracket, Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua went on “The Dan Patrick Show” to lash out at the ACC, saying the league that houses most of the school’s non-football sports had “done permanent damage to the relationship” between the two parties after the conference publicly lobbied for Miami to make the playoff field over the Fighting Irish.

Bevacqua’s comments received widespread criticism — including from one of his fellow power brokers in the world of college athletics.

During a sit-down interview at Sports Business Journal’s Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in Las Vegas, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark slammed Bevacqua’s criticism of the ACC, describing the administrator’s words as “egregious.”

“I don’t like how Notre Dame’s reacted to it,” Yormark said. “I think Pete’s behavior has been egregious. It’s been egregious going after (ACC commissioner) Jim Phillips when they saved Notre Dame during COVID.”

While Notre Dame is an independent in football, 24 of the university’s athletic programs are members of the ACC. Additionally, the school has had a football scheduling agreement with the ACC since 2014, one in which the Fighting Irish have to play an average of five ACC programs a year over the life of the deal. In 2020, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC allowed Notre Dame to play 10 ACC teams on its 11-game schedule that season and be eligible for the league’s championship game. On the back of that ACC-heavy schedule, the Fighting Irish made the ACC championship game, where it lost to Clemson, and was selected for the then-four-team College Football Playoff.

As the debate waged last week over which combination of Notre Dame, Miami and Alabama should earn the final two at-large spots in the playoff, the ACC campaigned for Miami, the only one of the trio that is a football member of the conference. 

On Nov. 10, the league’s official account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a graphic comparing the respective resumes of the Hurricanes and Fighting Irish while highlighting Miami’s head-to-head victory against Notre Dame and its higher number of wins against top-25 opponents. The ACC Network also aired the Hurricanes’ 27-24 Week 1 victory over the Fighting Irish more than a dozen times last week in the days leading up to the final playoff bracket reveal. Miami ultimately earned the final at-large spot after being behind Notre Dame for each of the previous weekly ranking unveilings.

Those actions irked Bevacqua, who has voiced his displeasure with the conference of which his school’s football program isn’t a member.

‘I understand they have to stand up for their teams in football,’ Bevacqua said on Tuesday, Dec. 9. ‘We just think there’s other ways to do it, and it has created damage. I’m not going to shy away from that, and that’s just not me speaking. People a lot more important at this university than me feel the same way.”

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips had responded to Bevacqua’s comments on Monday in a statement in which he said that “when it comes to football, we have a responsibility to support and advocate for all 17 of our football-playing member institutions, and I stand behind our conference efforts to do just that leading up to the College Football Playoff Committee selections on Sunday.”

Though Notre Dame’s coaches and players may have understandably felt blindsided by the playoff selection committee’s final ranking, Yormark believes the clues for Miami leapfrogging the Fighting Irish were apparent all along. And, to him, that makes Bevacqua’s behavior even more unacceptable.

“(Playoff selection committee chairman) Hunter (Yurachek) was very transparent about it, the chair, that as Notre Dame and Miami got closer together, head-to-head would be a factor,” Yormark said. “BYU lost. They became closer and head-to-head made a difference in that decision. I think he’s totally out of bounds in his approach and if he was in the room, I’d tell him the same thing.”

FIFA accused of breaking ethics rules after Trump gets Peace Prize

Sport 2 Mins Read

An international human rights group filed a complaint with the ethics committee of world soccer’s governing body to look into FIFA President Gianni Infantino, accusing him of a possible breach of political neutrality.

FairSquare, based in London, which says its company promotes ‘systemic change and stops human rights abuses,’ filed an eight-page complaint with FIFA’s Ethics Committee over the organization’s decision to give its inaugural Peace Prize to President Donald Trump, a decision that was met with swift condemnation.

“The award of a prize of this nature to a sitting political leader is in and of itself a clear breach of FIFA’s duty of neutrality,” FairSquare said in its complaint.

“If Mr. Infantino acted unilaterally and without any statutory authority, this should be considered an egregious abuse of power.’

FIFA’s ethics bylaws require neutrality in all political matters, and violations can carry a two-year ban from the sport.

Infantino and Trump were together at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, for the World Cup draw. The 2026 tournament, which is being held in North America, starts June 11.

FairSquare also said Infantino’s attendance at Trump’s inauguration in January ‘indicates support for President Trump’s political agenda.’

‘This complaint is about a lot more than Infantino’s support for President Donald Trump’s political agenda,’ said Nicholas McGeehan, FairSquare’s program director.

‘More broadly this is about how FIFA’s absurd governance structure has allowed Gianni Infantino to openly flout the organisation’s rules and act in ways that are both dangerous and directly contrary to the interests of the world’s most popular sport.’

Crypto Market Update: Strategy Adds to Bitcoin Treasury, SEC Ends Ondo Finance Probe

Investing 4 Mins Read

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (December 8) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$90,672.01, down by 0.9 percent over 24 hours.

Bitcoin price performance, December 8, 2025.

Chart via TradingView.

Cryptocurrencies traded choppily, but were ultimately directionless over the weekend.

Bitcoin briefly slipped toward the high US$87,000s on Sunday (December 7) ahead of this week’s US Federal Reserve meeting, with both short and long positions liquidated.

Markets are pricing in a 25 basis point interest rate cut from the Fed on Wednesday (December 10), but labor weakness and sticky inflation will make Chair Jerome Powell’s tone pivotal.

Linh Tran, senior market analyst at XS.com, believes Bitcoin “will likely continue oscillating within the US$84,000 to US$100,000 range until the Fed delivers a clear message,” adding that a 0.25 percentage point cut and dovish signals “would be favorable for risk assets, particularly Bitcoin,” while a hawkish stance risks downward pressure.

On Monday, Bitcoin briefly traded at around US$92,000, but failed to retest US$92,000 to US$93,500 resistance, dropping below US$90,000 as the US market opened.

Crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades said bulls must defend the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement zone, which serves as a key area of support and resistance during market cycles. Failure to do so could result in a fall to April lows. Fellow analyst van de Poppe is eyeing US$86,000 as key support before potential lows retest.

Liquidity stayed thin, and derivatives positioning showed waning momentum rather than clear trend conviction, setting up a cautious, data‑dependent start to the new week.

Last week, US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced net outflows of US$87.77 million, while spot Ether ETFs recorded US$65.59 million in outflows.

Cycle data mirroring 2022’s market suggests Bitcoin’s long-term bottom is in or imminent, according to investment manager Timothy Peterson. Derivatives data analyzed by CryptoQuant indicates trader apathy, signaled by low OI and leverage, paving the way for a potential rally.

Ether (ETH) is currently priced at US$3,129.54, down 0.4 percent over 24 hours.

Altcoin price update

  • XRP (XRP) was priced at US$2.09, a decrease of 0.2 percent over 24 hours.
  • Solana (SOL) was trading at US$134.23, down by 1.3 percent over 24 hours.

Crypto derivatives and market indicators

Bitcoin futures open interest rose 0.53 percent to US$58.18 billion in the last four hours of trading, alongside US$4.88 million in liquidations that hit mostly long positions, while Ether open interest climbed 0.49 percent to US$37.84 billion, with US$8.76 million liquidated.

Bitcoin’s relative strength index sits neutral at 51.67 with a mildly negative funding rate of -0.001 percent, signaling balanced momentum and slight short bias, whereas Ether’s positive 0.006 percent funding rate points to lingering long interest despite the downside pressure.

These metrics reflect cautious positioning amid recent Bitcoin consolidation, with rising open interest indicating fresh capital entering despite liquidation flushes that targeted longs more aggressively. The neutral-to-bearish Bitcoin funding and RSI suggest limited upside conviction short-term, potentially capping rallies until macro catalysts provide direction, while Ether’s funding tilt hints at relative resilience in alt positioning.

Today’s crypto news to know

StableChain launches mainnet

Crypto Price Forecast: Top Trends for Crypto in 2026

Investing 6 Mins Read

After 2025’s volatile end, 2026 is poised to be a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency sector, marking a transition from a speculative asset class to essential global financial infrastructure.

Further regulatory clarity, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and sustained institutional inflows could propel DeFi and crypto markets in 2026. According to experts, this is no longer a conversation about crypto versus TradFi; it’s about a hybrid financial system where digital assets are simply better tools.

Crypto market maturity and resilience

According to Elkaleh, Bitcoin’s resilience during its recent pullback, which brought a 37 percent drawdown from its October all-time high, was telling. While such severity was surprising, he observed that long-term holders and institutions continued to accumulate rather than unwind exposure, which he sees as an indicator of health.

“Q4 was defined by a major leverage reset, with BTC’s sharp pullback forcing a broader reassessment of risk,” he said.

At the time of this writing, analysts were split on where Bitcoin could go next. A further crash risk lingers if the US Federal Reserve delays interest rate cuts; however, a post-purge rally to US$135,000 to US$150,000 is in sight mid-year if institutions return, exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows flip positive and futures premiums stabilize above 5 percent.

As Bitcoin dropped, Elkaleh observed other segments of the market tied to practical use cases and diversification strategies — such as privacy assets, decentralized AI and stablecoin ecosystems — weather the storm.

“The market (has shown) growing maturity: capital and developer attention shifted toward utility-driven sectors such as tokenization, stablecoins and real-world integrations.”

Tokenization: The on-chain first institutional default

Mersch sees tokenization accelerating in 2026, eventually becoming the default for new institutional financial products.

He sees the foundation of this shift being built, with tokenized treasuries and money-market funds serving as a core yield sleeve for institutional investors who demand liquidity, standardized reporting and programmable settlement.

“If current growth holds, tokenized assets could be a multi-trillion dollar market by 2030, with government bonds and cash-like instruments as the anchor,” he said. “Over the next five years, the key shift is likely that new institutional products are designed as on-chain first, and only secondarily wrapped in legacy wrappers.”

He anticipates that stablecoins will be solidified as the liquidity backbone for a growing tokenized market, acting as the new cash layer. The most likely end state, according to Mersch, will be a hybrid digital cash stack, where bank-issued stablecoins, private stablecoins and central bank digital currenciesco-exist and interoperate.

Mersch predicts that tokenized real estate and private credit will now start to see expansion.

For real estate, tokenization converts a traditionally illiquid market into tradable, divisible assets, lowering the barrier to entry for global investors and providing recurring revenue streams.

Rupena, whose company, Milo, pioneered the crypto-backed mortgage, asserts that lenders will be expected to recognize digital assets as a core part of a client’s real balance sheet, just like cash or securities.

Elkaleh also expects to see strong expansion in RWA tokenization in 2026, alongside stablecoin-based payouts and small-business payment rails. “The most accelerated growth will occur in emerging markets, where mobile-first users turn to crypto as a practical financial alternative,” he wrote in an email.

“The rise of RWA markets, L2 scalability and more accessible DeFi will allow onchain credit and savings to scale meaningfully. Combined with steady institutional inflows, these economies will become the strongest demand engines of 2026, driving both user growth and real economic activity onchain.”

DeFi: An institutional derivatives and credit layer

The final pillar of the 2026 crypto outlook is the maturation of DeFi. Mersch asserted that DeFi is poised to emerge as a compliance-ready core platform for credit and risk management in 2026.

Real-world structural resilience supports Mersch’s forecast.

Rupena noted that market ups and downs are expected in the digital asset ecosystem, and that conservative LTVs, real-time monitoring and clear margining frameworks are designed to cope with volatility.

“Lower forced liquidation activity, even during big market moves, is a very healthy signal,” he explained, adding that customers are purposely keeping collateral cushions so they can stay calm during market swings.

This focus on prudence and durability validates the market’s readiness for institutional-grade credit and risk products.

“If successful, this creates a liquid, 24/7 derivatives layer that sits on top of both tokenized and traditional markets,” Mersch said. “By 2026 and beyond, the most interesting innovation may not be crypto versus TradFi, but portfolio and product designs that blend tokenized assets, stablecoin liquidity and DeFi-based synthetic exposure into a single stack.”

This institutional leap is fundamentally enabled by regulatory clarity.

“You can already see this through partnerships like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) with Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) and Morpho (TSE:3653), where yield is embedded at the platform level without requiring users to interact directly with on-chain protocols. Regulation will accelerate that model,’ he added.

Elkaleh noted that clearer rules will allow users to adopt on-chain tools for cross-border payments, tokenized savings and AI-driven bill pay with the same confidence they have in regulated fintech apps. He expects the most transformational impact will come from next-generation L2 scalability paired with AI-agent execution.

“These shifts will bring down transaction costs, compress settlement times, and enable autonomous payments, subscriptions and cross-chain operations,” the expert explained.

“We also expect prediction-market aggregation to emerge as a breakout consumer interface and RWA perpetuals to bring macro assets, including commodities, credit and inflation onchain through synthetic markets. These developments collectively move crypto into a more comprehensive, high-velocity financial system.”

Upcoming crypto market catalysts

The pivot to a hybrid financial system will be driven by several concurrent catalysts.

The US Market Structure Bill is targeted for a Senate floor vote in early 2026, aiming to create the first federal framework for digital assets. North of the border, Canada’s Stablecoin Act, which provides C$10 million for Bank of Canada oversight starting in 2026, signals official endorsement of the digital cash layer.

Globally, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is set to implement new capital standards for banks’ crypto exposures, crucial for encouraging institutional momentum, by January 1, 2026.

The technological engine supporting this adoption is fueled by scalability and intelligence.

On the blockchain side, Ethereum’s aggressive roadmap, including the Glamsterdam upgrade targeted for 2026, continues to refine Layer-2 (L2) systems. This focus on L2 efficiency, combined with the integration of AI agent execution, is key for supporting the millions of transactions needed for a comprehensive, high-velocity financial system.

Investor takeaway

In 2026, the crypto market is set to deliver meaningful gains and stable, sustained growth as this new, highly efficient, and globally interoperable financial system moves from the laboratory into production scale.
