There are lots of questions leading to the CW show’s season finale, with the biggest being: Will it get renewed?

This week, the third season of ‘The Game’ (8:30 p.m. Fridays) will come to an end aiming to answer several questions.

Will Malik (Hosea Chanchez) let his newfound family loyalties get in the way of his game on the field, and off? Will Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) finally find love with Rick Fox (playing himself)?
