MANILA, Philippines — Akari is holding its breath after captain Mich Cobb suffered an apparent neck injury in the second set of its bounce-back win over sister team Nxled in the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference on Thursday at Philsports Arena.

Cobb hurt her neck as she was stuck during the roll after she tried to save the ball when Akari was leading the second set, 5-3. She was stretchered off the court and had a neck brace on by the league’s medical team.
