Cunningham’s 46-point triple-double sparks Pistons past Wizards

Cade Cunningham delivered a monster triple-double, Daniss Jenkins buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and Javonte Green’s thunderous overtime dunk sealed Detroit’s 137-135 win over Washington on Monday night, extending the Pistons’ winning streak to seven games. In a surprisingly tense finish, the NBA’s second-best team narrowly escaped against a struggling Wizards squad that fell to a league-worst 1-10 with its ninth consecutive loss. “We knew how big this game was for us,” Jenkins said. “We weren’t going to let anything stop us from getting this W.” Cunningham powered the victory with a career-high 46 points on 14-of-45 shooting, going 16-of-18 from the line while adding 12 rebounds, 11 assists, five steals and two blocks as Detroit improved to 9-2. “He’s the one who’s going to lead this team in whatever we do,” Detroit’s Jalen Duren said of Cunningham. “To see him fight through and be the great player he is gave us confidence.” Jenkins came off the bench for a career-high 24 points and eight rebounds, while Duren added 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Pistons. C.J. McCollum led Washington with 42 points and hit a floater with 14 seconds left to give the Wizards a 126-121 lead. But Jenkins, who hadn’t played in three games, sank a 3-pointer with three seconds left and, after a Kyshawn George free throw for Washington, hit another 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie it at 127 and force overtime. “I know what I’m capable of. I just had to believe in myself and trust my work,” Jenkins said. Added Duren: “He never shies away from the moment. He’s going to be a great player in this league, and that showed tonight.” In overtime, Duncan Robinson’s 3-pointer gave Detroit the lead, and Green’s dunk made it 136-133 with 25 seconds remaining. George added a layup for the Wizards before Duren sank a free throw to create the final margin. McCollum missed two 3-point attempts in the closing seconds. In another overtime thriller, Norman Powell scored 33 points and Andrew Wiggins added 23, including the winning dunk at the buzzer, to lift Miami over Cleveland 140-138. The loss snapped the Cavaliers’ four-game winning streak, leaving both teams at 7-4. Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s jumper with 7.1 seconds left forced overtime at 128-all. Powell sank two free throws with 6.5 seconds remaining for a 138-135 Miami edge, but Donovan Mitchell, who led the Cavs with 28 points, hit a 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left to tie it again. Miami prevailed at the buzzer when Wiggins converted an alley-oop dunk off a pass from Nikola Jovic. Another tense finish came in Orlando, where Desmond Bane’s 3-pointer at the buzzer gave the Magic a 115-112 victory over Portland. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 28 points, while Bane added 22 after missing his first five 3-point attempts before hitting the game-winner. Wemby sparks Spurs Victor Wembanyama delivered a dominant performance with 38 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and five assists to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 121-117 win at Chicago. The French rookie shot 11-of-19 from the field, including 6-of-9 from 3-point range, and was perfect on 10 free throws. Luka Doncic scored 38 points with seven assists and six rebounds to lead the Los Angeles Lakers past Charlotte 121-111. Austin Reaves added 24 points, and Rui Hachimura had 21 for the Lakers. Czech reserve guard Vit Krejci scored a career-high 28 points, hitting 9-of-13 shots — including 8-of-10 from beyond the arc — to lead the Atlanta Hawks over the Los Angeles Clippers 105-102. James Harden matched a club record with his seventh triple-double for the Clippers, finishing with 35 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, but Los Angeles’ losing streak reached five games. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points with eight rebounds and six assists to lead Milwaukee past Dallas 116-114. Grayson Allen scored 42 points, hitting 12-of-17 from the floor and 10-of-15 from 3-point range, as host Phoenix defeated New Orleans 121-98. Anthony Edwards scored 35 points and Julius Randle added 27 to power Minnesota’s 120-113 victory at Utah.

Turkuvaz Sports Summit crowns champs, charts Turkish sporting future

The annual Turkuvaz Media Sports Summit returned to Istanbul with all the spectacle and significance of an industry-defining event, cementing its reputation as the “Oscars of the Season” for Turkish sport. Held at the Turkuvaz Media Center and organized by the Turkuvaz Media Group – publishers of Sabah, Fotomaç and A Spor – the summit brought together more than 200 influential figures from across the sporting world to celebrate achievement, debate reform and shape the direction of the nation’s athletic future. This year’s summit carried a dual mission: to honor the finest talents of the 2024-2025 Süper Lig season and to address the pressing issues facing Turkish sports – from infrastructure and youth development to transparency and fair play. The event opened with a tribute video highlighting Türkiye’s global sporting rise, setting the tone for a day that blended glamor with serious dialogue. The proceedings began with Turkish Youth and Sports Minister Osman Aşkın Bak’s keynote address, in which he underscored the government’s major investment in sports infrastructure and grassroots programs. Since 2023, more than $150 million has been poured into new facilities, equipment and athlete support programs. “We’ve built 150 modern sports complexes and reached 2.5 million young athletes through our initiatives,” Bak said, receiving the Turkuvaz Media Special Award for his contributions. He stressed inclusivity, Olympic preparation and women’s empowerment in sports, describing them as central pillars of Türkiye’s century-long vision. Turkish Football Federation (TFF) President Ibrahim Hacıosmanoğlu followed with an impassioned speech focused on restoring integrity and balance to Turkish football amid the ongoing investigation into the illegal betting by referees. He reaffirmed that the federation “will remain equal to all communities” and pledged to uphold justice, transparency and unity within the game. “Sport unites our nation,” he said. “We aim to make Turkish football a brand known not for chaos but for fair play.” Hacıosmanoğlu highlighted Türkiye’s strong start in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where the Crescent-Stars sit second in Group G with 10 points from four matches. He also praised Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Samsunspor for their recent performances in UEFA competitions, calling their success “proof of Turkish football’s resurgence.” As the panels unfolded throughout the morning, journalists, executives and former athletes engaged in lively discussions about VAR controversies, fan behavior, sponsorship challenges and the role of artificial intelligence in sports analytics. Oscars of the Season By midday, attention turned to the glittering highlight of the day – the unveiling of the “Sezonun Oscarları,” or Oscars of the Season. Voted by a mix of fans, journalists and former players, these awards recognized the standout individuals and teams of the Süper Lig’s first half. The ceremony belonged to Galatasaray, who swept six of the top honors after a blistering campaign that left them unbeaten at the top of the table with 29 points from 12 matches. Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen captured the Best Striker award, while Okan Buruk was named Best Coach for seamlessly blending five new signings into his system. Galatasaray's Uğurcan Çakır claimed Best Goalkeeper for his consistency and league-high save percentage, while his former teammate at Trabzonspor, Zeki Yavru, was recognized as Best Right-Back for his revival following a summer transfer. Galatasaray’s Abdülkerim Bardakcı and Fenerbahçe's Milan Skriniar dominated the defensive categories. Fenerbahçe’s Ismail Yüksek earned Best Midfielder honors for his breakout season. Rafa Silva of Beşiktaş won Best No. 10, while Trabzonspor’s Oleksandr Zubkov took Best Winger for his dynamic playmaking. Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek was awarded Best Club President for his strategic transfers and fan engagement initiatives. Off the football pitch The Turkish women’s national volleyball team received the “Outstanding Achievement in Women’s Sports” award for their silver medal at the 2025 FIVB Nations League, further emphasizing Türkiye’s expanding global profile in multiple disciplines. The volleyball federation’s president, Mehmet Akif Üstündağ, accepted the trophy, hailing the team as “pioneers of belief and excellence.” The summit also recognized innovation in sports journalism. Turkuvaz’s flagship digital platforms – aspor.com.tr, fotomac.com.tr and sabah.com.tr’s sports section – were jointly honored as “Best Sports Websites of the Year.” Together, they attract more than 35 million monthly readers and were celebrated for revolutionizing Turkish sports journalism through real-time coverage, data-driven analysis and ethical reporting. Mustafa Yüce, General Manager of Turkuvaz Digital Publications, accepted the award, saying, “In a time of misinformation, our mission is to prioritize integrity and inspire the next generation of sports enthusiasts.” The day concluded with a forward-looking panel on esports and digital engagement, highlighting how Turkish sports are evolving alongside global trends. The 2025 Turkuvaz Media Sports Summit, now a fixture of the sporting calendar, showcased not only who dominates the field but also who defines the future.

Millions displaced worldwide as climate crises worsen: UN

The consequences of climate change have already driven millions of people worldwide to flee their homes, according to figures released by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) ahead of the 30th annual U.N. Climate Change Conference set to start on Monday in Brazil. "Over the past decade, weather-related disasters have caused some 250 million internal displacements – equivalent to over 67,000 displacements per day," the agency said in a report released on Monday. The organization speaks of a vicious circle of conflicts and climate crises. Three-quarters of the people displaced by conflict live in countries that are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. The UNHCR cites, among other things, floods in South Sudan and Brazil, record heat in Kenya and Pakistan and water shortages in Chad and Ethiopia. "Climate change is compounding and multiplying the challenges faced by those who have already been displaced, as well as their hosts, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected settings," the report said. Only a quarter of the funds made available for adaptation to the consequences of climate change reached countries threatened by conflict, which often took in many refugees themselves, according to the UNHCR. The U.N.'s annual climate summit, known as COP30, is often used as a stage for poorer nations to call for more funding from prosperous countries to adapt to increasingly hostile climate conditions. "If we want stability, we must invest where people are most at risk," said UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi. "To prevent further displacement, climate financing needs to reach the communities already living on the edge." Grandi went on to call on participants at the climate conference to deliver: "This COP must deliver real action, not empty promises." Around 50,000 participants from more than 190 countries are meeting in the Brazilian city of Belem, in the Amazon rainforest, for two weeks of talks starting on Monday. They will discuss how to curb the climate crisis and its devastating impacts.

Malian TikToker killed by suspected jihadists after pro-army posts

A female TikToker accused of helping Mali’s army has been seized and killed execution-style by suspected jihadists. Mariam Cissé, said to be in her 20s and with over 100,000 TikTok followers, posted videos about life in her Tonka hometown in the northern Timbuktu region and often expressed support for the army. Her death has shocked the nation, which has been battling a jihadist insurgency since 2012. State TV said she had simply wanted to promote her community and support the army through her TikTok posts. Mali is grappling with a fuel blockade imposed on the capital by jihadist groups that has severely disrupted daily life, with the African Union expressing “deep concern”. Ms Cissé was seized by the suspected jihadists while live-streaming from a market in a neighbouring town, French public radio RFI reported. “My sister was arrested on Thursday by the jihadists,” her brother told the AFP news agency, saying they had accused her of “informing the Malian army of their movements”. Over the weekend she was moved to Tonka by motorbike and shot at the town’s Independence Square while her brother was in the crowd, AFP reports. A security source told the agency she had been assassinated because she had been accused of filming jihadists “for the Malian army”. In some of her TikTok videos, she wears military uniform, with one of her posts captioned Vive Mali (Long Live Mali). Her death comes as the crisis caused by the jihadist blockade has worsened, with schools and universities remaining shut for weeks. The government has suspended learning institutions since last month and said that it would do “everything possible to address the crisis” so that they would reopen on Monday. The dire situation has persisted, and on Friday the French foreign ministry advised its citizens to urgently leave the country while commercial flights were available. On Sunday, AU Commission chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was concerned about the “rapid deterioration of the security situation where terrorist groups have imposed blockades, disrupted access to essential supplies, and severely worsened humanitarian conditions for civilian populations”. He condemned the “deliberate attacks against innocent civilians” that had caused “unacceptable loss of lives and heightened instability”. He added that the AU was ready “to support Mali, as well as all Sahel countries, during this particularly challenging period”. For weeks, Mali has been hit by fuel shortages, especially in the capital Bamako, after militants from an al-Qaeda affiliate imposed a blockade by attacking tankers on major highways. Mali is landlocked, so all fuel supplies are brought in by road from neighbouring states such as Senegal and Ivory Coast. The military seized power in Mali in 2021 and promised to improve security, but the jihadist insurgency has continued and large parts of the north and east of the country remain outside government control.

Explainer: Why Ghana’s Minority in Parliament boycotted the vetting of Chief Justice nominee

Explainer: Why Ghana’s Minority in Parliament boycotted the vetting of Chief Justice nominee

Ghana’s Parliament witnessed a dramatic turn on Monday when opposition lawmakers from the Minority Caucus walked out of the vetting session for Chief Justice nominee Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, effectively rejecting his nomination and boycotting the process. Their withdrawal has deepened the political standoff surrounding the judiciary – an institution that, by constitutional design, is meant to remain above partisan fray. Here’s what happened, and why it matters. What triggered the boycott? The boycott was led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who announced during the Appointments Committee proceedings that his side would not participate in questioning the nominee. “Be it known to you, chairman, and the committee and the country, that we, the Minority Caucus, hereby vote en bloc to reject the nominee,” Afenyo-Markin declared, moments before leading his members out of the chamber. Their decision followed a tense exchange with Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga, prompting a temporary suspension of the session. When the committee reconvened, the Minority members refused to continue, leaving the Majority to conduct the vetting alone. What are the Minority’s concerns? At the heart of the dispute lies the process that led to Justice Baffoe-Bonnie’s nomination. The Minority argues that the nomination is tainted by controversy because former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, who was removed from office, has filed legal challenges contesting her dismissal. They contend that proceeding with a new appointment while those cases remain unresolved undermines judicial independence and due process. Who is Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie? Justice Baffoe-Bonnie is a respected figure in Ghana’s judiciary. A long-serving Supreme Court Justice, he currently holds the position of Acting Chief Justice, stepping in after Torkonoo’s removal. Over the weekend, he was honored at the 29th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards, where he delivered a widely praised speech urging the media to uphold truth, courage, and responsibility remarks that have since taken on new resonance amid his nomination controversy. His rise to the top judicial post was seen by many as a natural progression, reflecting both his seniority and experience. What happens next? Despite the boycott, the vetting will proceed with the Majority members alone, meaning Baffoe-Bonnie’s nomination could move forward without bipartisan scrutiny. According to Ghana’s Constitution, confirming a Chief Justice requires the support of two-thirds of Parliament members present and voting. With the Minority abstaining, the Majority is expected to use its numbers to confirm him, though the legitimacy of such a process may later face public or legal challenge. Why does this matter? The episode exposes how judicial appointments have become flashpoints for political division in Ghana. While walkouts and boycotts are not unprecedented, the rejection of a Chief Justice Nominee, the head of the judiciary, is a rare and consequential move. It raises questions about the balance of power between the executive, legislature, and judiciary, and whether the judiciary can maintain the perception of neutrality in an increasingly polarized political environment.

How to get Minecraft Fullbright texture pack 1.21.9

Minecraft has a lot of features to improve the gameplay experience. However, there are some things that are needed to make things even better. This is where mods and texture packs come in. You can add in more features or improve the already present ones by using these custom mods, and the Fullbright texture pack is one such modThe Fullbright texture pack is a lightweight resource pack that increases in-game visibility so dark areas like caves, night-time surfaces, the Nether, and the End dimension appear as bright as daytime without using torches or potions. This article will explain how you can get the latest version of the texture pack and install it in Minecraft.Where to download Minecraft Fullbright texture pack 1.21.9You can download the latest version from Modrinth (Image via Modrinth | Mojang Studios)To get the latest version of the Fullbright texture pack, head over to the official page of the mod on Modrinth. Here, ensure that you are downloading the latest one by checking the version tab. The specific version should say FUB 6.0 that supports all the new features that came with The Copper Age update.Once you have downloaded the mod file, here are the steps you need to follow to activate it in your game. Keep the .zip file in a handy folder because you will need it.Launch Minecraft Java and go to Options → Resource Packs → Open Pack Folder to open the “resourcepacks” directory.Move the downloaded .zip file into the “resourcepacks” folder that just opened (do not unzip).Back in the Resource Packs screen, select the Fullbright pack from the left pane and click the arrow to move it to the right (active) side, then click Done to apply.If Minecraft shows a “made for a newer/older version” warning, confirm Yes; this warning is common and does not block usage in most cases.For the Bedrock Edition of the game running on PC and smartphones (iOS and Android devices):Download a Bedrock Fullbright pack as an .mcpack from a trusted source; creators often label it “Night Vision (Gamma)” or similar in-game.On Windows/iOS/Android, open or double‑click the .mcpack to auto‑import into Minecraft.Open Minecraft → Settings → Global Resources → My Packs, select the Fullbright pack, and press Activate so it moves to Active.Load any world and test at night or in caves; the scene should appear much brighter while remaining a simple resource pack, not a gameplay‑changing add‑on.What does Fullbright texture pack do?Fullbright texture pack can be great for people with vision issues (Image via Modrinth | Mojang Studios)Fulbright texture pack does a nifty trick to the textures and lighting-related assets so shadowed regions render at a much higher apparent brightness, giving a permanent night-vision–like experience while keeping other game mechanics the same. This makes exploration, mining, and even combat much easier especially for builders, speedrunners, or players who have vision issues in low light.It doesn’t add real light sources or modify light levels that affect mob spawning; it only changes how darkness looks on screen. Mobs can still spawn in dark areas because the game’s internal light level remains the same, even if the scene looks bright. Practically, this means safer navigation visually, but the gameplay risk of unlit spaces still exists.What makes it even better is that Fullbright is a simple resource pack, so it avoids performance-heavy shaders or complex mods. This makes it one of the best mods for the blocky game.Many variants are compatible with vanilla, OptiFine, or Sodium-based mods too, and they typically work across multiple versions with minimal issues. If the game warns about a version mismatch, the pack usually still loads fine.
