UAE Football Association Suspends 2 Players for 5 Matches
UAE Football Association announced the suspension of 2 players for 5 matches in local competitions. The association's disciplinary committee named the two sportspersons — Sharjah Club player Khalid Al Dhanhani and Shabab Al Ahli Club player Sultan Adel. The association said they would be excluded from the national team roster, and fined them Dh500,000 each. This comes after the two players committed a violation inside the national team camp on June 7. The national team manager, Yani Allah, said the decision comes in accordance with the disciplinary and sanctions regulations for national teams. Shabab Al Ahli Club said it has decided to take necessary disciplinary measures against the player in accordance with its internal regulations. The club affirmed its strong rejection and condemnation of any behavior that contradicts the rules and regulations of the national teams and the Football Association. 'Representing the national team is a great honour for every player. Players are ambassadors for the nation, bearing the responsibility of reflecting an honorable image through their commitment to values, discipline, and sportsmanship,' the club said in a social media post. UAE regularly ensures that sports events take place in the right spirit, imposing fines and disciplinary actions on players or fans who show unruly behaviour. In May, Dubai-based football clubs Al Wasl and Shabab Al Ahli were fined a total of Dh150,000 following events that unfolded during the Adnoc Pro League match. The fans of both the clubs insulted each other, and threw liquid bottles onto the pitch and at the opposing team's fans. Al Wasl fans also a smoke bomb. Earlier this year, two football fans were arrested for using distress signal flares during matches. Also read: UAE Weather: Fog Alert in Abu Dhabi, NCM Forecasts Rain on Monday

Pacers oust top-seeded Cavs, Nuggets on brink
The Indiana Pacers came from behind to send the Cleveland Cavaliers crashing out of the NBA playoffs on Tuesday as the Oklahoma City Thunder overcame a dazzling Nikola Jokic display to push the Denver Nuggets to the brink of elimination. Cleveland -- the top seeds in the Eastern Conference -- saw their postseason come to an abrupt halt after Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points to power the Pacers to a 114- 105 victory, sealing a 4-1 series triumph. Western Conference top seeds Oklahoma City grabbed a 112-105 victory over Denver to edge into a 3-2 lead in their titanic duel with the 2023 champions. Three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Jokic delivered a towering performance for Denver, the Serbian star finishing with 44 points, 15 rebounds and five assists. But Jokic's heroics were in vain as the Thunder -- who had trailed for most of the game -- unleashed a fourth-quarter bombardment to outscore Denver 34-19 and seal a pulsating win. Jokic's rival for this season's MVP award, OKC's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,scored 31 points on a night when six Thunder players finished in double figures. 'Throughout the game it's full of swings -- you make shots, you miss shots. We just trusted in our principles, and two games in a row now we've been able to pull out a W (win),' Gilgeous-Alexander said.
