The Tar Heels star is returning to Chapel Hill for a fifth collegiate season.
North Carolina forward Armando Bacot is reportedly returning to the Tar Heels program for the 2023-24 basketball season, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.
Bacot finished his senior season averaging 15.9 points and 10.4 rebounds in a disappointing ’22-23 campaign that saw the Tar Heels miss the men’s NCAA tournament for the first time since 2010 and the program choosing to not compete in the National Invitation Tournament.
“I’m using my last year of eligibility,” Bacot told Goodman.

Jets bolster offense with the addition of dynamic wideout, ahead of rumored trade for Aaron Rodgers.
On Wednesday, the New York Jets agreed to terms with former Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal for the speedy wideout is one year at $6.5 million.

George suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night’s game while going for a rebound.

His tattoo artist, Andres Ortega, posted various close-up photos of the finished product. The process took around 10 hours, Ortega noted.

Not only are PGA Tour players better at everything involved in the game of golf than you and I, but they’re also more creative. Tour players see things the regular golfer doesn’t, and that fact was on full display during Tyrrell Hatton’s opening match at the WGC Match Play on Wednesday.
Taking on Ben Griffin in his first match, Hatton was faced with a lengthy eagle putt on the Par 5 6th hole. Given the angle he was faced with towards the hole, Hatton elected to go with the more difficult route as opposed to the more traditional one.

The two-time All-Star hasn’t played since injuring his hamstring Jan. 2.
The Pelicans have been a decidedly different team with and without forward Zion Williamson on the court this season.
Entering its Jan. 2 game against the 76ers, New Orleans was 23–13 and squarely in the race for home-court advantage in the Western Conference. Since that game—during which Williamson injured his hamstring—the Pelicans have gone 12–24.

In the age of increasing pace of play, everybody at the ballpark plays a part.
Among the defining storylines of the 2023 season will be the league’s steadfast efforts to increase the pace of play and shorten game times. For this aim, everybody at the ballpark will play a role—even bat boys and bat girls.
