MSU freshman SF Jordan Scott misses opening night of Moneyball with minor leg injury
Jordan Scott here tonight at Moneyball but not in uniform. Wearing a sleeve on his left calf. No Jeremy Fears either (guessing he's at the NBA draft with his family). Carson Cooper and Trey Fort playing in this first game of the night. One of the incoming freshman on the Spartans' 2025-26 roster was held out of the opening night of Moneyball Pro-Am due to a minor injury. Michigan State small forward Jordan Scott told Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press on Tuesday that he's dealing with a "little tweak" injury related to his left calf. Scott sat out the opening night of Moneyball Pro-Am and was seen wearing a sleeve over his left calf, which garnered the interview from Solari about the injury. 'I'm good, it's just a little tweak,' Scott told Solari. 'I'll be good by next week.' Scott is a high-end four-star prospect in the 2025 class. Listed at 6-foot-7, Scott is ranked as the No. 54 overall prospect and No. 12 small forward in 247Sports' rankings for the 2025 class. Michigan State basketball has been battling the injury bug over the last few weeks, with incoming Florida Atlantic transfer Kaleb Glenn being ruled out for the year and Jesse McCulloch also missing the start of Moneyball Pro-Am with a stress fracture in his foot. The good news, though, is that both McCulloch and Scott should be back before Moneyball Pro-Am concludes, and certainly not expected to miss any time when Michigan State starts practicing for the season in the fall.

Dustin Poirier: Charles Oliveira should fight Ilia Topuria 'the same way he fought me'
Dustin Poirier has some insight on where Charles Oliveira fights best. Oliveira (35-10 MMA, 23-10 UFC) takes on Ilia Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) for the vacant lightweight title in Saturday's UFC 317 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Poirier (30-9 MMA, 22-8 UFC) was able to drop and hurt Oliveira in their title fight at UFC 269 in December 2021 but was ultimately submitted by a rear-naked choke in Round 3. Oliveira was dropped in his title fights against Poirier, Michael Chandler, and Justin Gaethje before rallying to finish them all. However, Poirier points out a key difference between Oliveira's prior opponents and Topuria. "Charles does get hit a lot," Poirier told MMA Junkie. "I got some people sh*tting on me on Twitter for saying I think Ilia is going to beat Charles, but that's just what I think. Charles does take a lot of shots, and Ilia is a guy who – we haven't seen it really, but he's confident in his jiu-jitsu. He's going to follow Charles down. "When I hurt Charles, and it's rinse and repeat, a lot of guys have hurt Charles, but we try to make him get back up and touch him again. I think Ilia, if he does sit Charles down, he's going to follow him, get into his guard. We've seen Charles when guys go into his guard and play jiu-jitsu with him and aren't afraid of that, he starts breaking a little bit, I think. But we'll see which Charles shows up. It's a fun fight. It's a fun matchup." Like Topuria, Poirier boasts heavy hands with his boxing. "The Diamond" thinks Oliveira needs to implement a similar strategy in the striking as he did against him. "I think Charles needs to fight Ilia the same way he fought me," Poirier continued. "He was all the way in, or he was all the way out. He never really fought me at that boxing range. If he was in, it was clinch work, body locks, a lot of energy, but he smothered my boxing. Or he was at kicking range, using those long front kicks. He's a long, rangy guy. He needs to be all the way in or the all the way out. He cannot play the boxing, pocket game. He needs to be clinching. He doesn't need to be exchanging shots in the pocket with a shorter guy who can crack." While Poirier is picking Topuria to win, he sees a way Oliveira can get the submission. "I think Ilia does have good takedown defense, and Charles even being big, I was able to stop a lot of his shots against the fence and make him go back to the body lock," Poirier said. "He eventually got underneath me and got around to my back, and jumped on my back like a JanSport. "So, if he can close the distance and get into that clinch work with Ilia, instead of boxing there or trying to dirty boxing, holding one tie, I think he needs to use that body lock, try to get behind him. If he can close the distance and get a hold of Ilia's body being the longer guy, maybe he can creep around to the back. I mean, Charles could finish anybody if he gets their back."
