Lonzo Ball will most likely miss the whole 2019 season. The Chicago Bulls guard will have a third surgery on his left knee, which has already kept him out for almost a year. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, he'll miss most, if not all, of the 2023-24 season rehabilitating. The Bulls stated that Ball would get a cartilage transplant in his knee, but no timetable for his comeback was provided. "My major emphasis has been on getting back on the court and to a point where I can rejoin my teammates." "In a statement, Ball stated. "This has been a difficult process, but I am certain that the next steps are the right way ahead. During my recuperation, the love and support of my family, friends, fans, and medical staff has kept me going. "I can't wait to get back to doing what I love most: playing basketball." While that is an extremely lengthy period away from the game — he will be out for nearly three years — Ball and the Bulls are apparently hopeful that the third operation will be enough to properly heal his knee. Ball's meniscus injury had already ruled him out for the remainder of the season. He hasn't played since January 14, 2022, and has already had two operations. But, he apparently couldn't run or jump after his most recent one in September, and his rehabilitation hasn't gone as planned. In recent weeks, Ball has been considering a third operation. The organization had hoped that the surgery would keep Ball out for only six months, allowing him to return to the court in time for the start of the next season. According to Charania's timetable, he may not play again until the start of the 2024-25 season. If that's the case, Ball will have been out for around 33 months. Before tearing his meniscus, Ball averaged 13 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 35 games with the Bulls. When he went down, the Bulls were near the top of the Eastern Conference. They finished sixth and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Milwaukee Bucks.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million.
