The BIG3 returns from a week hiatus due to the Independence Day holiday, with Week 5 action taking place in Boston’s TD Garden. There are no undefeated teams remaining after the Dallas Power beat the Detroit Amps, 51-30, two weeks ago, handing Joe Johnson’s squad its first loss of the season.
Johnson didn’t play in that Week 3 game, which explains the loss for Detroit. Elsewhere around the league, the LA Riot beat the Houston Rig Hands, Miami 305 beat the Boston Ball Hogs and the DMV Trilogy remain winless after losing to the Chicago Triplets in Miami on June 29. Week 3 marked the first time the BIG3 played in Miami, and Miami 305 showed out for the home crowd in a blowout win to improve to 2-1 on the season.
Week 5 tips off on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on CBS. Below is a look at each matchup along with how you can follow the action in real time. Also included below is a quick rundown of some of the players to watch for in Week 5.

Notable players to watch
- Joe Johnson, Detroit
Johnson didn’t play in Week 3, so surely he’ll have a big performance up his sleeve for Week 5 — especially after his team recorded their first loss of the season without him on the floor. Johnson leads the league in points per game, averaging nearly 30 in his first two contests.
- Montrezl Harrell, Chicago
Harrell dropped 26 points in Chicago’s tightly-contested win against the DMV Trilogy, including 13 points in the first quarter. Harrell’s been showing out in his first year playing for the BIG3, as he ranks third in the league in scoring, averaging nearly 20 points a game.
- Michael Beasley, Miami
Beasley is coming off a season-high 22 points against Boston, including a 4-pointer to win the game. He led the 305 to the second-largest margin of victory this season, alongside Lance Stephenson as a potent 1-2 punch.
- Dwight Howard, Los Angeles
Howard notched his BIG3 career high in Week 3 with 17 points — including two 3-pointers! — to go along with six rebounds. The outside shooting is something we certainly rarely saw from Superman during his All-Star NBA days. In Howard’s first season with the BIG3, he’s averaging 12 points and six rebounds, though Week 3 showed that perhaps he’s found his footing in the league.
- Glen Rice Jr., Dallas
Rice has gotten out to a hot start this season. He dropped 22 points in the blowout win over Detroit in Week 3. He ranks second in points per game this season at just over 21 a contest, and is tied for second with nine assists per game.

Bengals Reportedly Listening to Trade Offers on Star DE Trey Hendrickson
As Trey Hendrickson continues his hold-in during training camp this week, the Cincinnati Bengals are listening to trade offers for the star edge rusher, NFL Media reported on Sunday. No deal is imminent, and it's unclear if Hendrickson will wind up playing elsewhere in 2025, NFL Media added in its report.Hendrickson and the Bengals were in a contract dispute for virtually the entire offseason, with Cincinnati allowing him to talk to other teams about a potential deal at one point. However, no deal came to fruition, and the Bengals and Hendrickson have failed to reach an agreement on a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract.With no contract extension coming to fruition this offseason, Hendrickson wasn't shy to share how upset he was with the team. He skipped essentially the Bengals' entire offseason program, including mandatory […]
Arsenal hold on to beat Manchester United through Calafiori goal: Live updates and reaction
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes discussed his side’s performance on Sky Sports after the match.Let’s hear his thoughts...💬 “We did a lot of good things but it wasn’t enough. (After scoring) Arsenal didn’t create any good chances, we were defending very well. We created many good chances without scoring so that’s a point we have to look at and make it better next time.“In the first half the game was very divided, in the second Arsenal were defending the result. We controlled the game well, were very good on the ball. The main negative of the game is that we didn’t score.“Corners are part of the game, we know they are very good from set pieces. I haven’t seen the goal again... but Altay (Bayindir) was saying at the moment he went to punch the ball, he got a touch […]
France wins Germany Sail Grand Pix just days after driver is released from hospital
From the hospital and a crash that threatened their participation to spraying champagne on the podium. Somehow, Quentin Delapierre steered the French team to the unlikeliest of victories at the Germany Sail Grand Prix in Sassnitz on Sunday.On Friday, during a wild and windy practice session, Delapierre suffered a face-plant into the cockpit of the French F50 catamaran after their carbon-fiber rudder exploded off the back of the boat and high into the air. After being released from hospital with a clean bill of health, Delapierre set sail on a tricky course that threw all kinds of curve balls at the fleet over the weekend.AdvertisementWhere Saturday had been a test of nerve in strong, gusty winds that saw the F50s break new records for high-speed sailing, Sunday was a much more subtle game in lighter, patchy breeze. Even on their […]
Alabama’s Jam Miller expected to miss season opener vs. FSU with upper-body injury
Alabama starting tailback Jam Miller is out indefinitely after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday’s scrimmage.Miller’s exact injury was not specified by Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, who said in a statement Sunday that Miller had a “procedure” the night before.“Jam should recover fully with a timetable for his return yet to be determined,” DeBoer said.AdvertisementMiller, a senior, was preseason third-team All-SEC after being Alabama’s second-leading rusher last season with 668 yards and seven touchdowns. Then-quarterback Jalen Milroe was Alabama’s leading rusher.At minimum, Miller appears out for No. 8 Alabama’s season opener at unranked Florida State. But he could be facing an extended absence, putting his availability in peril for the Sept. 13 home game against unranked Wisconsin and the Sept. 27 trip to No. 5 Georgia. Miller could be a big loss for the Crimson Tide for however long he’s […]
NFL preseason scores and live updates: Latest from Jaguars vs. Saints and Bills vs. Bears
With reports of Caleb Williams struggling in training camp, here are your views on the Chicago Bears as the start of the NFL season rapidly approaches:Greb B.: Very concerning that QB1 is looking WORSE than last year in camp.Enrico P.: I'd wonder if Caleb is getting nervous or feeling the pressure but our guy doesn’t get nervous or feel pressure. Just ask him. Well and good but if he can’t get rid of the ball on time and hit his targets, the fact that he’s a highly touted No. 1 pick who can throw from wacky arm angles is going to become irrelevant. This is the NFL—you have to be able to run and execute a play or offense as designed. John C.: Yikes. I am a big believer in both Caleb and Ben but this camp is starting to […]
Jágr porazil v cyklistickém závodě vyhecovanou přítelkyni. Aspoň týden od ní budu mít klid, říká
Jágra na Lipno pozvala olympijská vítězka Kateřina Neumannová. On sem přijel znovu po třech letech, tehdy si rovněž střihl závod na kole, ale tentokrát byla trať pro něj přívětivější. „Ta trať tehdy byla daleko náročnější, hodně po silnici a se stoupáními. Letos to bylo takové oddechové.“Pro 53letého hokejistu, který se intenzivně chystá na další extraligovou sezonu, ale byl 20kilometrový závod především soubojem s přítelkyní. „Byl jsem suverénní! S přehledem jsem vyhrál. Domča si myslela, že mě porazí, ale v půlce závodu, když jsem viděl, jak tlačí kolo do kopce, věděl jsem, že nemá absolutně žádnou šanci. Minimálně týden tak od ní budu mít klid,“ říkal Jágr.Po jeho boku jela i Lucie Neumannová, dcera Kateřiny, která jako sportovní influencerka Jágrovo snažení dokumentovala. A když od ní hokejista slyšel, že čím vyšší věk, tím lepší forma, hned žertoval: „Už se těším, až mi bude šedesát. To porazím i tvou […]
