CHICAGO - The chances of the Bulls having their starting point guard back in time for the start of the 2023-2024 season could be in jeopardy based on a report on Thursday.Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, there is a possibility that Lonzo Ball will need a third surgery on his troublesome left knee that has kept him off the court for over a year. This would require another six months of rehabilitation, which could sideline him for the opening parts of training camp and next season.No final decision has been made, per Wojnarowski.This could be another difficult moment in a Bulls' career that began with great promise for the guard whom the team acquired through a sign-and-trade in the summer of 2021. In 35 games that first season, he was averaging 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per contest as the Bulls got off to a quick start.On January 14, 2022, Ball had 15 points, three assists, and two rebounds in 23 minutes against the Warriors at the United Center, and that's when his lef...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:17:16 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – The long season of La Niña has finally ended, meteorologists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have confirmed. The La Niña climate pattern, which has been present practically uninterrupted since the summer of 2020, started weakening in recent months. Now, La Niña has officially been replaced by "ENSO-neutral conditions," the Climate Prediction Center (a division of NOAA's National Weather Service) said in its "Final La Niña Advisory" Thursday morning, “ENSO neutral" means neither La Niña nor El Niño is present. Forecasters expect these conditions to last through early summer. How La Niña ending will impact spring weather in your state We may switch from ENSO-neutral conditions to El Niño at some point this summer or fall, but it's too early to predict the timing or strength of an El Niño season, meteorologists said. Both La Niña and El Niño usually grow strongest in the winter. A strong El Niño for fall and winter, if it were to d...

Growing up, he believed college was the only route to a good job, stability and a happy life.The pandemic changed his mind.A year after high school, Hart is directing a youth theater program in Jackson, Tennessee. He got into every college he applied to but turned them all down. Cost was a big factor, but a year of remote learning also gave him the time and confidence to forge his own path.“There were a lot of us with the pandemic, we kind of had a do-it-yourself kind of attitude of like, ‘Oh — I can figure this out,’” he said. “Why do I want to put in all the money to get a piece of paper that really isn’t going to help with what I’m doing right now?”Hart is among hundreds of thousands of young people who came of age during the pandemic but didn’t go to college. Many have turned to hourly jobs or car...
