I was thinking basketball on the baseline. I guess volleyball might be better with a prime

It's kind of the opposite. With volleyball, good photos can happen over a wide area. With basketball, most good photos happen around the basket so the zoom is less useful. The 85mm works great at the baseline.

The biggest problem with a zoom in volleyball is you'll need lots of light to freeze a volleyball with an f2.8 lens. The 135mm was almost able to do that wide open.
