Regular Season Round 16: Grindavik - Valur 78-67

Date: January 29, 2026
The game between Top Four teams took place in Grindavik. First ranked host Grindavik (14-2) defeated 4th ranked Valur (10-6) 78-67. The game was mostly controlled by Grindavik. Valur managed to win fourth quarter 18-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. American-French forward Jordan Semple (201-1992, college: Chico St.) fired a double-double by scoring 17 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists (perfect from the field making all eight shots !!!) for the winners. American point guard Khalil Shabazz (183-1998, college: USF) chipped in 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Grindavik players scored in double figures. The former international guard Kari Jonsson (192-1997, college: Drexel) produced 20 points and 5 assists and British forward Callum Lawson (198-1996, college: ACU, agency: Players Group) added 16 points and 9 rebounds respectively for lost side. Valur's coach Finnur Stefansson rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Grindavik maintains first position with 14-2 record. Loser Valur keeps the fourth place with six games lost. They share the position with Keflavik. Grindavik will meet Keflavik (#5) on the road in the next round. Valur will play against Akranes IA and hope to secure a win.
