Oba Femi has spoken about how his church community in Lagos helped him move to the United States and begin his journey to becoming a WWE star.

The wrestler, whose real name is Isaac Odugbesan, made this known during an interview with Stephanie McMahon on the What’s Your Story? podcast.

Before becoming one of WWE’s rising stars, Oba Femi said life was difficult for him in Lagos and he faced challenges at home.

The former University of Lagos student explained that his church, Grace Assembly, and his pastor, Femi Paul, played a major role in supporting him financially and emotionally.

“My pastor was a very respectable man,” Femi said. “When there were problems between me and my dad, he would step in and advise me.”

The WWE star said members of the church came together to raise money to help him travel to America.

“As a matter of fact, my entire church community came together to raise money when I was coming over to the States. Shout out to Grace Assembly,” he said.

Femi also said Pastor Paul taught him important values, including respecting his parents and staying focused in life.

“He told me never to disrespect my parents. Femi Paul was a huge inspiration for me,” he added.

The Lagos-born wrestler is currently enjoying a strong rise in WWE after several impressive performances. His recent victory over Brock Lesnar has further increased his popularity in the wrestling world.

Oba Femi has now become one of the fastest-rising stars in WWE, with many fans praising his strength, confidence and performances in the ring.

Despite his growing fame, the Nigerian star said he still remembers the support and sacrifices made by his church community back in Lagos.

With just nine days to go until Oleksandr Usyk defends the WBC heavyweight world title against Rico Verhoeven, the WBA have decided to allow him to defend their belt also.

Whilst recognised as a Dutch kickboxing legend, Rico Verhoeven boasts a professional boxing record of just 1-0; that victory coming over 12 years ago against the then 0-5 recorded, Janos Finfera. 

As a result, when his unconventional showdown with Usyk was announced, the undefeated Ukrainian’s belts were not expected to be at stake, but whilst the WBA and IBF’s stance was unclear, the WBC controversially agreed to sanction the contest as a heavyweight world title bout.

This led to speculation that WBA and IBF could strip Usyk of their titles, with Murat Gassiev [WBA] and the victor of Frank Sanchez’s fight with Richard Torrez Jr. [IBF] likely to benefit and either be elevated to champion or positioned for a vacant title bout with the respective bodies.

However, in an intriguing but confusing twist, the WBA have suddenly announced their terms for the ‘title fight’ after a ‘special request’. Now, they have determined that a Usyk victory will count as a successful title defence but that, if Verhoeven were to pull off the remarkable upset, ‘the WBA Championship Committee would then review his [Usyk’s] status’. 

“Should Usyk emerge victorious, the bout will officially count as a successful title defense. If the champion were to lose, the WBA Championship Committee would then review his status and determine the next course of action regarding the heavyweight championship.”

Therefore, whilst Usyk can officially retain his WBA heavyweight world title with a triumph next Saturday, the unranked Verhoeven will be unable to claim that belt.

Although, the WBA have revealed that a Verhoeven win would make him eligible to enter their heavyweight ratings.

After a week of suspense, the Minnesota Vikings signed wide receiver Jauan Jennings on Thursday, May 7th, following a free-agent visit that had fans’ interest piqued. Now, in the fallout of the contract, one aspect is undeniable: Jennings is phenomenal insurance for Jordan Addison.

Minnesota now has another proven receiver who can function inside Kevin O’Connell’s offense.

Addison doesn’t have a stellar behavioral track record as a Viking, and if he were to revert to his sometimes-naughty ways, well, Jennings is now in the house as a fallback.

Addison’s Situation Makes the Move More Interesting

Jennings can cook in a Kevin O’Connell-led offense.

Addison’s Lengthy Off-the-Field Sheet

Addison has made headlines for a series of troubling incidents in the last three years, rather than his football performance. They include his 2023 arrest for driving 140 MPH in a 55 MPH zone, being found asleep and drunk on a Los Angeles freeway in 2024, missing a London walkthrough in the 2025 regular season, and a strange 2026 offseason arrest for trespassing at a Florida casino.

There’s always something Addison does that isn’t ideal.

The infractions have become synonymous with his public image, overshadowing his talent on Sundays. However, this month brought positive news for both Addison and the Vikings, exercising his fifth-year rookie option and clearly demonstrating Minnesota’s continued investment in his future.

The Vikings granted Addison another opportunity, providing the support needed to put these issues behind him. Ultimately, his future rests entirely on his own accountability. If not, well, there’s Jennings — ready, waiting, and hungry for WR2 snaps.

Next Man Up Would Be Jennings

Pretend Addison succumbed to a nefarious offence. Before the Jennings acquisition, the recourse would be an intense workload from Justin Jefferson, plus Tai Felton as the WR2 and Addison replacement.

Bless his heart: Felton may become the real deal in the NFL, but as a rookie, the Vikings went out of their way not to put him on the football field, even trading for geriatric Adam Thielen and using a precious 4th-Round pick to get him in the package.

Indeed, without Addison — whether because of legal woes or an injury — Minnesota’s tentative WR corps would be this pre-Jennings:

• Justin Jefferson
• Tai Felton
• Myles Price
• Unnamed Undrafted WR

That’s a little spooky. The spookiness is gone with Jennings in the mix.

Zone Coverage‘s Chris Schad recently noted on Minnesota’s WR strategy, “While the class is strong, the Vikings have an edict to remain super competitive. Having a receiver who can step up if needed could help them ease a new player in immediately. Ultimately, Jennings and Addison could be in competition for their futures in Minnesota. Both are productive receivers when they are right.”

“But both have a combustible element that could leave the Vikings looking foolish. While Jennings is a one-year experiment, Addison could be something more. It could lead to an unlikely path where Jennings becomes Addison’s replacement if things go sideways next season.”

Similar WR Paydays

What’s more, another hypothetical scenario: assume the Vikings do not re-up with Addison after the 2027 campaign, the final season of his rookie contract (or pretend he gets traded). The Vikings would save between $25 million and $35 million per season — Addison will ask for a contract in that ballpark — and if Jennings had fully immersed himself in the Vikings’ offense, well, Minnesota can just pay Jennings.

Jennings isn’t a guy who’s looking for his one big chance in Minnesota. He’s already a proven commodity, with a bankable WR2-WR3 resume.

These are his numbers:

There’s a world where Addison flames out due to his habits, while the Vikings turn around and pay Jennings as a WR2, perhaps around $20 million instead of $30 million to Addison.

Age Is the Only Discrepancy

The only hiccup to the contingency plan is age. And it’s a real thing.

Addison turned 24 in January. Jennings will turn 29 this summer. There’s a whole 4.5-year gap between the men, and unfortunately, it’s a player’s entire prime. Therefore, the aforementioned sneaky benefit has a shelf life of 2-4 years.

In the meantime, if the Vikings were forced to pick Jennings over Addison — for whatever reason — Minnesota would have ample time to figure out the Jennings succession plan, via the draft, free agency, or trade. He buys them time.

There’s also a final caveat: Jefferson-Addison-Jennings is probably the Vikings’ best receiving trio since Moss-Carter-Reed. That’s a biggie.

Aronimink Golf Club will host its second major when the 2026 PGA Championship begins on Thursday morning in Pennsylvania. Gary Player won the 1962 PGA Championship at Aronimink, while the course also hosted the 2018 BMW Championship. Keegan Bradley won that tournament in a playoff over Justin Rose, while Rory McIlroy finished fifth. McIlroy is coming off a major win at Augusta, and he is a two-time PGA Championship winner. 

However, Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion, and he is the +480 favorite in the 2026 PGA Championship odds. McIlroy (+850) is the only other golfer inside of 10-1, while Cameron Young (12-1), Jon Rahm (13-1) and Xander Schauffele (18-1) are next on the PGA odds board. Bradley is a 125-1 longshot even though he won the last PGA Tour event played at Aronimink. Scheffler is set to tee off alongside Justin Rose and Matt Fitzpatrick at 2:05 p.m. ET on Thursday. Claim the latest DraftKings promo code, where new users get $100 in bonus bets instantly after your first $5 wager:

2026 PGA Championship odds

Here is the field for the 108th PGA Championship. A maximum of 156 golfers will tee it up at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Click on the odds to wager now.

PGA Championship betting: Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler has spent almost exactly three years sitting atop the Official World Golf Ranking and with a sizable lead on No. 2 Rory McIlroy and more than double the points of No. 3 Cameron Young, he won’t be giving up that spot any time soon. The 20-time PGA Tour winner is a four-time major champion, which includes a PGA Championship victory last season at Quail Hollow. He won earlier this year at The American Express and he’s also finished solo second in each of his last three PGA Tour starts. His five-shot win in the 2025 PGA Championship was the largest since McIlroy won by eight in 2012.

PGA Championship betting: Rory McIlroy

McIlroy is coming off his second consecutive win in Augusta, so he’ll enter the second major of the year full of confidence. He’s made just one start since that victory, finishing T-19 last week at the Truist Championship. McIlroy is known for his explosive length off the tee, a big reason why he enters this week’s event ranked first in strokes gained: off the tee (0,854). However, the 37-year-old has been inconsistent with a putter in his hands this season, ranking 105th in strokes gained: putting (-0.177), 114th in putts per round (28.91) and 129th in one-putt percentage (38.89%). 

PGA Championship betting: Bryson DeChambeau

The runner-up in each of the last two PGA Championships, Bryson DeChambeau has already won twice this season and is coming off a third-place finish in his most recent start. He’s now a 16-time winner worldwide, and his two major championship wins both came at the U.S. Open (2020 and 2024). DeChambeau has now been top five in four of his last five starts at the PGA Championship, but he has missed the cut in two of the last three majors he’s played.

PGA Championship betting: Jon Rahm

Rahm is a two-time major champion, but the PGA Championship has been his least successful major. He has finished outside the top 10 in six of his nine appearances, and he has not finished inside the top five since 2018. The Spaniard did card a top-10 finish last year with a T8, though. 

PGA Championship betting: Cameron Young

Young enters the 2026 PGA Championship as one of the hottest golfers on the PGA Tour. Young has already picked up two victories this season, and has finished T-10 or better in six of his past seven starts. He’s been able to secure those positive results thanks to his elite ball-striking ability. The 29-year-old ranks second in strokes gained: total (1.693), sixth in strokes gained: off the tee (0.644) and 21st in strokes gained: approach the green (0.449). Young has yet to win a major, but he could certainly find himself in contention this week at Aronimink. 

PGA Championship betting: Jordan Spieth

Spieth is making his tenth attempt at completing the career grand slam, but his PGA Tour win drought is over four years old. He has not won an event since the RBC Heritage in 2022 after winning 14 events from 2013-17. His last six PGA Championship attempts have not gone well, as he has finished outside the top 25 in each of those tournaments. Spieth is one of 11 golfers with exactly three legs of the career grand slam, and he is one of three golfers without the PGA Championship. 

PGA Championship betting: Xander Schauffele

Schauffele recorded his first major championship victory at the PGA Championship in 2024. He seems to play his best in majors, and is extremely consistent on the biggest stages, finishing inside the top 30 in 16 consecutive major appearances. Schauffele will enter the 2026 PGA Championship full of confidence, having finished T-12 or better in four of his past five starts. 

PGA Championship betting: Brooks Koepka 

Koepka is one of six golfers with at least three PGA Championship wins, as he won the event in 2018, 2019 and 2023. He has the most major wins (5) by any golfer since 2017. However, he has finished outside the top 10 in all 11 major starts since winning the 2023 PGA Championship, the longest such streak of his career. Koepka has the lowest cumulative score to par (-52) in PGA Championship history.

PGA Championship betting: Justin Thomas

Thomas is eager for another major title, as he has not won a major since winning the PGA Championship for the second time in 2022. In fact, his lone top-25 finish at a major since then came when he finished T8 in the 2024 PGA Championship. Thomas is a former World No. 1 looking for a resurgence at Aronimink Golf Club.  

PGA Championship betting: Matt Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick is arguably the hottest golfer in the world right now, racking up three wins since the middle of March. He took down the Valspar Championship before winning the RBC Heritage in a playoff. Then, he teamed up with his brother to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans a week later. Now, Fitzpatrick will try to carry that momentum into the second major of the year as he eyes his second major title (2022 U.S. Open).

PGA Championship betting: Ludvig Aberg

Aberg is still relatively fresh on the PGA Tour scene, but expectations are still sky high due to his talent. He carded back-to-back top-10 finishes in Augusta in 2024 and 2025, although those remain his only top-10 finishes at majors. Aberg missed the cut in his previous two appearances at the PGA Championship. He has six top-25 finishes this season, including four top-five finishes.  

PGA Championship betting: Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood is considered one of the sport’s best golfers who has never won a major championship, as he has 11 professional wins, including the Tour Championship last year. He has seven top-five finishes in majors, including a runner-up at both the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Open Championship. Fleetwood has gone without a top-10 finish in his last eight majors though, including a T41 at the PGA Championship last year.

Course preview: Aronimink Golf Club

Aronimink Golf Club was founded in 1896 and boasts a rich history of hosting golf’s biggest stars. Aronimink has hosted the PGA Championship in 1962, which was won by Gary Player, the 1977 U.S. Amateur, and the 2003 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. Aronimink also served as the site of the PGA Tour’s AT&T National in 2010 and 2011. In 2018, the BMW Championship was played at Aronimink, and in 2020, Aronimink became the first venue to stage each of the PGA of America’s three rotating major championships after hosting the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Designed by Donald Ross, Aronimink features a historic course that has been renovated to its original glory. However, the 18 original greens have been unaltered since opening in 1928, and they feature bold spines and ridges that can make reading the green extremely difficult. 

Aronimink is a course that rewards precision, featuring rolling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and classic green complexes that demand precise shot-making. There are more than 170 bunkers placed strategically on Aronimink, giving the course an intimidating appearance throughout. 

Playing at nearly 7,400 yards, Aronimink is a par-70 that will test even the best golfers in the world. The course layout at Aronimink is balanced with shorter holes that will require accuracy and strategic shot-making. The last time Aronimink hosted the PGA Championship (1962), the winning score was 2-under par. At the 2018 BMW Championship, Keegan Bradley beat Justin Rose in a playoff after the duo shot 20-under par.

PGA Championship betting options and wagers

Outright winner

This is the main market for golf betting, as bettors simply wager on who they think will win the tournament. For example, a $100 bet on Scheffler (+425) last year paid out $525.  

Winner without

If you want to wager on someone lower on the odds board, you can choose to remove a selected golfer or group of golfers. Your wager then has action without the golfers who have been removed, and the odds are recalculated.  

Big guns vs. field

This allows bettors to wager on multiple golfers at once, often combining stars like Scheffler, McIlroy and Rahm against everyone else in the field. It is generally a two-way market at most sportsbooks, so bettors can take the field or the “big guns.” 

Each way

An each way bet combines an outright winner bet with a placement bet. The wager amount is doubled into two bets, with one bet on the outright price and the other bet on their chances to finish in the top five. 

Top finish

Almost all sportsbooks offer top finish/placement odds, which allow bettors to wager on a golfer to finish in the top five, top 10, top 20, etc. Some sportsbooks include ties and others don’t, so it is important to check the dead-heat rules before placing one of these bets.  

First-round leader

This is a popular way to get involved in the action on Thursday, but the 18-hole sample size also creates more volatility. Golfers who are known for starting hot might be worth a wager in this market instead of the outright market. Dead-heat rules apply here as well, so be sure to verify those rules at your sportsbook.  

Head-to-head matchups

While not every golf tournament has head-to-head matchups, the majors always have plenty of these to choose from. Tournament matchups apply to all four rounds, while round matchups are just for that day’s action. 

Three balls

If you want to wager on a golfer to score better than two other golfers, three balls are the way to go. They operate the same way as matchups, but they offer more attractive odds due to the additional player.

Nationality 

Sportsbooks group players of the same nationality together for this wagering option, posting odds for who will finish highest at the end of the tournament. There are more golfers to sort through for categories like top American and top European, while top Swede or top Korean might only have a few options. 

Tournament props

Tournament specials are available at the major sportsbooks, with offerings like whether someone will make a hole-in-one. Other golf props include the over/under for winning score or whether there will be a wire-to-wire winner. 

Make/miss cut

The cut line is heavily discussed during the first two days of the tournament, and at least several stars tend to miss the cut in every major. Finding the right ones can result in a strong plus-money payout, while finding a longshot to make the cut offers the same opportunity.  

Hole scores/winner

Hole bets are available throughout each round, with bettors able to wager on the exact score for a golfer or who will finish with the best score on a particular hole out of the group. Monitoring the course conditions and pin placements is critical for hole betting.  

PGA Championship records

The PGA Championship was established in 1916, with match play until 1957 before stroke play took over in 1958. The tournament has been held at various venues, so records are slightly different than Augusta, which hosts the first major every year. 

Most wins

Only two golfers have been able to win the PGA Championship five times, as Walter Hagen won his fifth in 1927 before Jack Nicklaus matched him in 1980. Tiger Woods has four wins, while Koepka is among a group of golfers with three victories.  

Largest margin of victory

McIlroy won the 2012 PGA Championship by eight strokes, shooting a 67 in the second round, 67 in the third round and 66 in the final round. It was his second major title at just 23 years old, and one of the most dominant major performances ever. 

Most runner-up finishes

Nicklaus not only won this tournament five times, but he also finished second on four occasions. He was consistently contending throughout his career, while Hagen, Tom Watson and Greg Norman all had three runner-up finishes. 

Lowest 72-hole score

The lowest 72-hole score was posted by Schauffele just two years ago, as he shot a 21-under 263 in 2024 to edge out Brooks Koepka’s 2018 record by one stroke. Schauffele’s record is not expected to be in danger this weekend, as Aronimink is a challenging course.  

Lowest 18-hole score

Only two golfers have been able to shoot a 62 in one round at the PGA Championship, and both instances occurred the same year. Schauffele shot a 62 in the first round in 2024, while Shane Lowry shot a 62 in the third round. 

Oldest winner

The oldest winner of the PGA Championship is Phil Mickelson, who was 50 when he took home the title in 2021. Mickelson took the lead in the final round and ultimately won by two strokes, becoming the first golfer ever to win a major in his 50s.

Youngest winner

The youngest winner came a century earlier, as Gene Sarazen was just 20 years old when he won in 1922. Sarazen won the title during the match-play era, when players had to win multiple head-to-head matches rather than stroke play. The youngest modern winners are McIlroy (2012) and Woods (1999), who were both 23. 

Wire-to-wire winners

In the modern stroke-play era, six golfers have won in wire-to-wire fashion. Bobby Nichols (1964),Nicklaus (1971), Raymond Floyd (1982), Hal Sutton (1983) and Koepka (2019) each led outright after every round, while Schauffele (2024) was a co-leader after the third round.

PGA Championship past winners 

Grand Slam winners 

The career Grand Slam consists of four major championships: the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship. Only six golfers have ever completed the career Grand Slam. The first to do so was Gene Sarazen, and the most recent was Rory McIlroy in 2025. 

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy became the latest Grand Slam winner after his triumphant victory over Justin Rose in a playoff in Augusta in 2025. McIlroy successfully defended his title in Augusta in 2026, securing his sixth major championship. McIlroy has won the PGA Championship twice in his career, recording victories in 2012 at Kiawah Island and 2014 at Valhalla Golf Club. 

Tiger Woods 

Woods has recorded 15 career major championship victories, ranking second behind all-time behind Jack Nicklaus. Woods has won the PGA Championship four times in his career, most recently winning in 2007 at Southern Hills. Woods has racked up 82 career victories on the PGA Tour, tied with Sam Snead for the most all-time. Woods last played in the PGA Championship in 2004. 

Jack Nicklaus 

Nicklaus has the most major championship victories of all-time with 18. He completed the career slam three times and finished on top of the leaderboard at the PGA Championship on five separate occasions. Nicklaus played in a record 154 consecutive major championships in his career. 

Gary Player 

Player won nine major championships in his career, spanning from 1959 to 1978. Player was the youngest to complete the modern career Grand Slam at 29 years old. He won the PGA Championship twice, including at Aronimink Golf Club in 1962. Player defeated Bob Goalby by one stroke in 1962, becoming the first non-American to win the PGA Championship. 

Ben Hogan 

Like Player, Hogan won nine major championships during his illustrious career, ranking him tied for fourth all-time. He won the PGA Championship twice (1946 and 1948) and recorded 64 PGA Tour wins from 1938 to 1959.

Gene Sarazen

Sarazen was the first player in history to complete the career Grand Slam. He won the PGA Championship three times (1922, 1923, 1932) and recorded 39 wins on the PGA Tour, including seven majors. Sarazen is also credited with inventing the modern sand wedge, a club he debuted at the 1932 British Open, a tournament he went on to win.

Phil Foden delivered an impressive performance as Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in the Premier League on Wednesday night

When Manchester City’s opener went in against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, Phil Foden turned to face the Etihad crowd and roared them on as he raced to join in the celebrations. When he came off with 10 minutes to go, the roar was reciprocated.

Foden got a huge reception from the home supporters as he made way following his best performance in a number of months. There was a bear hug from his beaming manager.

The 25-year-old has been a shadow of his best in the second half of this campaign. But he showed glimpses off the bench at Brentford on Saturday and built on that cameo against Palace.

In a slow start to proceedings, Foden was one player who looked like making things happen, and it was no surprise to see him create the opener with a delicious backheel that set Antoine Semenyo free to finish.

Foden wasn’t finished there, hooking on Josko Gvardiol’s clipped pass to create City’s second for Omar Marmoush and he nearly had a hat-trick of assists before the break only for Dean Henderson to superbly keep out Josko Gvardiol’s header.

Even in a second half low on quality, Foden kept going and worked hard on and off the ball, earning the man of the match award and praise from his manager.

“We want the best for Phil, and Phil has to deliver what he has done for many, many years,” said Guardiola after the midweek victory.

“He felt how people loved him, the standing ovation from the actions. People want him to be happy. The first goal, the second one, the control he does. The box-to-box player.

“He is a player with incredible attributes otherwise he would not have been a player for many years in the academy, or for many years been here winning six Premier Leagues and all the trophies we have won together. His contribution has been amazing.”

Foden will hope to contribute again in Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea and recapture the form he showed early in the campaign, before falling out of the XI in recent months.

“I would say I had a good half season, the first half, and dropped off a bit then struggled to find my place in the team,” Foden said to Sky Sports after the win over Palace.

“It happens when you have quality players around you and they are more at it than you, so I’ve had to wait and be patient, train as hard as I can, and when you get your moment you have to take it.”

Akor Adams has been praised after playing a big role in Sevilla’s fight to avoid relegation in the Spanish league.

The Nigerian striker scored the winning goal as Sevilla FC came from behind to beat Villarreal CF 3-2 on Wednesday night.

Sevilla coach Luis García praised the Super Eagles forward after the match and described him as “phenomenal” for his performances this season.

Adams scored with a strong left-footed strike to give Sevilla an important victory in their battle to stay in La Liga.

The goal was his fourth match-winning strike of the campaign. He had also scored important winning goals against Rayo Vallecano, Athletic Bilbao and RCD Espanyol.

Speaking after the game, García said: “Akor, now Akor again, is phenomenal.”

The coach also praised the effort of the whole squad but insisted the team still has work to do before they are safe from relegation.

“Maybe it’s not done yet. Until it’s done, I’m not going to relax for a second. Not a second,” García said.

Since joining Sevilla, Adams has been in impressive form. The Nigerian striker has scored 10 goals and provided four assists in 31 matches in all competitions this season.

His winning goal against Villarreal came after a clever pass from Djibril Sow.

García also praised the hard work of his attacking players, including Neal Maupay, saying they have shown strength and determination in difficult matches.

As Sevilla continue their fight for survival, Adams has become one of the team’s most important players with his goals, energy and hard work.

Charles Barkley had sharp criticism for Detroit Pistons forward Jalen Duren before the team took on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of their NBA Playoffs series on Wednesday night.

The “Inside the NBA” crew were going over key players for the game and who needed to step up. Barkley put the onus on Duren, who had eight points and two rebounds in Game 4.

“His whole game is offensive rebounds and lob dunks from Cade (Cunningham). He’s not getting those,” Barkley said. “So, that’s really hurting him. Listen, he should never have two rebounds, ever. That’s two more than a dead person.

“You can’t ever have two rebounds. But he’s a young kid. He’s gonna get in the gym, work on the 12–15-foot jumpers or something like that. But he’s too good a player. He’s an All-Star.”

The Pistons blew a 15-point lead and allowed the Cavaliers back into Game 5 on Wednesday. Cleveland would outlast Detroit in overtime, 117-113, to take a 3-2 series lead. Cleveland was behind 2-0 in the series before going back home for Games 3 and 4.

Duren slightly improved from Game 4. He had nine points, five rebounds and four assists. But the scoring wasn’t there from him. He only took five shots during the game.

Only three Pistons starters were in double figures. Cunningham led the team with 39 points. Daniss Jenkins added 19 and Tobias Harris had 13. Paul Reed provided 10 points in 17 minutes off the bench. But that was it from the Pistons.

Cleveland got a serious boost from James Harden. He scored 30 points with eight rebounds and six assists. Donovan Mitchell had 21 points. While starter Dean Wade didn’t score and didn’t attempt a single shot, Max Strus had 20 points, making six 3-pointers and nailing two free throws.

Manchester City cut the gap to Arsenal to two points on Wednesday night thanks to a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta insisted he learnt nothing from Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. The Blues needed to beat Palace to stop the Gunners winning the Premier League title on Monday at home to Burnley.

City managed to do their job with relative ease. Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark as he latched onto a superb Phil Foden back heel. Foden was provider again for Omar Marmoush to double the advantage and put the game beyond reasonable doubt.

Substitute Rayan Cherki excellently set Savinho up late on to seal a good win. Having now played the same number of matches, City’s goal difference is one better than Arsenal’s.

Arteta’s side could boost their goal difference against relegated Burnley but the Arsenal head coach insisted the Blues’ result did not change his team’s approach in their next game. “First of all, we have to earn the right to win the game,” Arteta said.

“To make a difference with more goals, even better. We played a really tough Manchester, we played a really tough match against West Ham, we managed to win it. It was a great feeling.

“But we know ideally that scoring goals is going to be important.” When asked if he learnt anything from the City win, Arteta replied: “Nothing. We focus just on the things that are in our hands, which is to prepare in the best possible way to beat Burnley.”

This month marked the 10-year anniversary of Jamie Vardy inviting the Leicester City squad to his house to watch Tottenham draw against Chelsea. That result sealed the Premier League for the Foxes.

When asked if similar plans were being made for Tuesday night when City travel to Bournemouth, Arteta refused to be drawn into the conversation. “We prepare to beat Burnley – that’s it,” he said, before adding: “Again, I’m sorry.

“We’re not thinking about that kind of thing. The only focus is on Burnley and winning that game. That’s the thing we can control.”

Should Arsenal fail to beat Burnley, City will move top of the Premier League on Tuesday night with a win against Bournemouth. Before the Blues can focus on that, they shall face Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

You do not need to play Disco Elysium before Zero Parades. The former is ZA/UM’s debut 2019 title that received critical acclaim and is widely considered one of the greatest video games of all time. The latter is ZA/UM’s next offering, which releases on May 21, 2026. Although it contains certain similar elements, Zero Parades is considered neither a spiritual successor nor a direct sequel to the previous game.

When asked, Allen Murray, the Studio Head of ZA/UM, told me the following in an exclusive interview:

“For us, Zero Parades and Disco Elysium are two completely different games set in different universes telling different stories. One is about an amnesiac cop who has to find out who he is. The other is about a spy pretending to be someone else, who is painfully aware of her past and has to find ways to move on.”

Zero Parades does not take place in Disco Elysium’s world

As Murray mentions, Zero Parades does not take place in the world of Disco Elysium. Meaning, you do not need to play DE or learn about the gameworld lore/history before you check out Zero Parades. Described as an espionage RPG, the Steam page describes it as follows:

“You’re a brilliant but tormented operant on one final desperate assignment. Gather your broken network, untangle a web of lies, and prove yourself on the world stage – or blow it all up again.”

ZA/UM’s turbulent behind-the-scenes developments over the past several years, especially regarding the departure of lead devs like Robert Kurvitz and Kaur Kender, have made such connections a contentious issue. There are a few similarities evident, nevertheless, like the internal dialogues between voices, skill checks, and political nuances in the narrative.

Yet, Zero Parades is not merely a cynical copy of the 2019 title. In my time with the demo, the game showed glimpses of its own uniqueness, be it in the gameplay or the narrative. Whether it will scale the lofty heights reached by Disco Elysium remains to be seen once the game launches. But it would be wrong to dismiss it entirely because of its similarities or controversies without trying it out.
