SAN DIEGO – San Diego Mojo of the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF), the premier women’s professional volleyball league in North America, on Thursday announced the renewal of its in-kind agreement for Scripps Clinic to serve as the team’s official health care partner.
Under the agreement, Scripps Clinic will provide a range of medical services to the team’s athletes, with a Scripps Clinic physician attending all Mojo regular-season and postseason home matches at Viejas Arena to care for Mojo players. Dr. Laika Nur, a sports medicine specialist with Scripps Clinic, will return as head team physician and will collaborate with an extended team of Scripps Clinic physicians who will be available for medical consultations in a broad range of medical specialty areas.
In return, Scripps Clinic will receive opportunities to educate the community about health and wellness through articles, arena signage and various digital platforms.
“The San Diego Mojo are pleased to renew the partnership with Scripps Clinic for 2025,” said San Diego Mojo president Billy Johnson. “World class athletes and world class care reunite in the Mojo’s second season in an effort to put the best professional volleyball product on display for our community here in San Diego.”

Scripps Clinic and Scripps hospitals are recognized for excellence in sports medicine, orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, interventional pain management and treatment of complex conditions.
