Projected Lottery Pick Suffers ACL Injury

• June 7, 2024

Deolu Akingbade

Top-10 draft pick Nikola Topic has a partially torn ACL, his second injury of the year. He will travel to the States to visit a doctor soon.

Nikola Topic  is an electric playmaking guard who is sparking conversation among draft analysts. Following this news, he will travel to the United States, where he will visit a doctor and decide whether the injury will need surgery. If he does have surgery, Topic could potentially miss the entire 2024/25 season. Topic is expected to be a lottery pick, with some mock drafts placing him as high as #2 before the news about his injury broke.

Topic initially suffered a knee injury in January that forced him off the courts for four months. He reaggravated the injury in late April during the Adriatic League playoff finals. Topic’s agent, Misko Raznatovic, confirmed he was at the NBA Draft Combine in Italy. Topic met with the Spurs ‘ team doctor while at the Combine.

“The doctors who checked the stability of the knee confirmed that it is in excellent shape,” Raznatovic told ESPN. Raznatovic expressed optimism that his draft stock would remain high despite the injury.

The Serbian guard rapidly slid out of the top five of several mock drafts after the injury. The fear of his injury becoming a weak point, along with unimpressive measurements put him in the #8-#15 range. Teams with a top-15 pick will have access to Topic’s medical diagnostics.

Topic’s Injury Will Affect Draft Order

His injury is certainly concerning. There were a lot of questions and concerns with Topic’s health going into the Combine because of how long he was out. In his first game on the court, he visibly played less aggressively and without the explosiveness that scouts admired. Injuring the same knee that he played so gingerly on could hinder his chances of having a long career in the League, as well as taking away some of his positive qualities.

“I’m not 100% healed. I haven’t started running or practicing with the basketball,” Topic told reporters at the Combine. “I’m focusing on rehab, on my body and knee.”

Topic’s 6’6″ frame as a big guard, his vision, and his overall feel for the game are the most exciting elements of his game. He’s shown the ability to have a jumper, and his elite free-throw shooting helps make his below-average three-point shooting (29%) bearable. With his draft spot sliding due to the injury, Topic falls in the range of San Antonio at #8, Utah at #10, or even Philadelphia at #16.

“Topić has suffered two recent sprained knee injuries, causing him to miss most of the 2024 calendar year to this point. His range is wider than expected right now, with a chance he could slip down the board even farther than this,”  The Athletic draft columnist Sam Vecenie wrote. “Topic is attending the June 4-7 pre-draft camp in Treviso, Italy, for prospects excused from the now-mandatory NBA Draft Combine because their overseas seasons had not finished .  The medical report teams get from that setting will be vital in determining Topić’s ultimate range. Teams are also trying to wrap their head around basing a lottery grade of him off a 13-game sample.”

With Topic sliding down, some prospects could jump up. Ron Holland could move a couple of places upwards — his energetic brand of play, defensive intensity, youth, and shooting form will be appreciated by many franchises. So could French prospect Tidjane Salaun. Salaun is a wing with an exciting build, standing at 6’10 with a wingspan of 7’2″. Although his relentless, confidence, and athleticism are intriguing, he’s markedly a raw prospect with horrible basketball instincts.

The Final Shape: All You Need to Know

Jun 4, 2024 - destiny 2 community team.

The day has come, Guardians. Happy The Final Shape launch day! Much is happening today, so we wanted to help by putting everything you might need to know in one place. Let's start with The Final Shape launch trailer, shall we? 

Confronting Oblivion 

In our latest ViDocs, we shared why The Final Shape is so special. We talked about the emotional journey, the Witness's plans, the beloved characters you've known for almost ten years, the new powers, the dangers, the places you'll find... You know what? It's better if you just watch them yourself.  

Through The Pale Heart 

Crow was first. Now, it's our turn to step inside the Traveler and explore : The Pale Heart. It's strange, yet familiar. Welcoming, but unsettling. You'll first experience this new destination in a more linear way while playing through the campaign, but afterward, it will continue unfolding with new locations, challenges, and activities. And with Pathfinder—our new progression system for The Pale Heart destination and Ritual activities—you'll earn tons of rewards while doing so.  

A Campaign for Legends 

In The Final Shape campaign, you, the Vanguard, and your allies will pursue the Witness to thwart its plans. It won't be easy, especially if you play it in Legendary Mode. You'll have to test your mettle on every fight, but your efforts will earn you upgraded rewards, like a set of armor with a high enough Power Level for raid content. 

Fear the Dread 

The Dread is a new species born as a result of the Witness's incursion inside of the Traveler. They are a menace, and you'll need new strategies to defeat them.  

Transcend Light and Darkness 

During their adventures inside The Pale Heart, players will earn three new Light-based Supers, one for each Guardian class and each of them accompanied by new Aspects.  

Storm's Edge Super and Ascension Aspect 

Song of Flame Super and Hellion Aspect 

Twilight Arsenal Super and Unbreakable Aspect 

But that's not all. The blending of Light and Darkness inside of the Traveler will allow Guardians to go beyond their known limits and combine both powers for the first time with the Prismatic subclass. Players will be able to combine select features of Light and Darkness subclasses, while also having some new and powerful Fragments at their disposal, resulting in incredibly powerful builds. 

With Prismatic, using Light and Darkness will also charge a new power called Transcendence, which will overflow Guardians with power, allowing them to create a unique grenade. Born from Light and Darkness, these grenades have increased damage output and regenerate at a faster pace.  

The cherry on top for Prismatic is the addition of new Exotic class items. These are exclusive to the Prismatic subclass, and you earn them through a unique activity in The Final Shape. Each of these Exotic class items has a mix of two Exotic armor perks, allowing for combos that were not possible before. Check out the list of Exotic perk combinations here . 

New Arsenal

Speaking of Exotics, we have a formidable lineup of new Exotic weapons that will allow you to defeat your foes in unique ways. Still Hunt shoots like a Marksman Hunter, Microcosm shoots wide beams of powerful Light, Khvostov is an old friend made anew and... well, you’ll discover what the rest do on your adventure.  

Still Hunt  

Microcosm 

Khvostov 

Six new Exotic pieces of armor will also be available in The Final Shape, two for each class. Three of these pieces have their own trailers already, check them out below. 

Mataiodoxia 

Gifted Conviction 

Hazardous Propulsion 

Of course, new Legendary gear is also needed in this fight, and we have plenty. For starters, the new destination weapons are all craftable, and some are part of new archetypes, like the new Auto Rifle that heals your allies when you shoot at them. 

Here's the whole list:  

• No Hesitation – Solar Support Frame Auto Rifle 
• Axial Lacuna – Solar Precision Fusion Rifle 
• Bold Endings – Stasis Heavy Burst Hand Cannon 
• Pro Memoria – Strand Aggressive Machine Gun 
• Someday – Kinetic Precision Shotgun 
• The Call – Strand Rocket-Assited Frame Sidearm 
• Embraced Identity – Void Adaptive Sniper Rifle 
• False Idols – Solar Vortex Frame Sword  

And let's not forget one very important upgrade coming to many weapons, including both new weapons and those already in your vault: perk enhancing. A broad selection of Legendary weapons can now have their perks enhanced .

Our World First race will be taking place during the first 48 hours of the raid, when Contest Mode will also be active. Whether you participate in the raid with your fireteam or follow the race on Twitch Rivals , you won’t want to miss this.

Expect the cost of your airfare to continue to rise, an aviation trade group and industry heads warn

FILE - A Boeing 777X plane takes off at the Farnborough Air Show fair in Farnborough, England, on July 18, 2022. The cost of your next flight is likely to go up. That’s the word from the International Air Transport Association, which held its annual meeting Monday June 3, 2024 in Dubai, home to the long-haul carrier Emirates. (AP Photo/Frank Augstein, File)

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The cost of your next flight is likely to go up.

That’s the word from the International Air Transport Association, which held its annual meeting Monday in Dubai, home to the long-haul carrier Emirates.

While carriers recover from the groundings worldwide from the coronavirus pandemic, industry leaders told journalists that there are several costs likely to push those ticket prices ever higher.

Part of that comes from worldwide inflation, an ongoing problem since the pandemic started. Jet fuel costs, roughly a third of all airline expenses, remain high. Meanwhile, a global push for the aviation industry to decarbonize has more carriers fighting for the little amount of so-called sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, available in the market.

“The airlines will continue to do everything they can to keep costs in control as much as possible for the benefit of consumers,” said Willie Walsh, the director-general of the the International Air Transport Association, an industry-trade group. “But I think it’s unrealistic to expect that airlines can continue to absorb all of the costs. ... It’s not something we like to do, but it’s something we have to do.”

Also pressuring the industry is a pandemic hangover in aircraft production as well, they say. Carriers now keep older planes that burn more fuel flying longer. There also aren’t enough new aircraft to expand routes and increase supply to bring down overall prices.

That warning comes as the IATA estimates globally, airline revenue will reach nearly $1 trillion in 2024, a record high. There will be 4.96 billion travelers on airplanes this year, with total expenses for carriers reaching $936 billion — another record high.

But industry profits also are expected to be nearly $60 billion this year.

In particular, Emirates, a main driver for Dubai’s economy, saw record profits of $4.7 billion in 2023 off revenues of $33 billion.

The Emirates’ results track with those for its base, Dubai International Airport . The world’s busiest airport for international travelers had 86.9 million passengers last year, surpassing numbers for 2019 just before the coronavirus pandemic grounded global aviation.

The airport now plans to move to the city-state’s second, sprawling airfield in its southern desert reaches in the next 10 years in a project worth nearly $35 billion .

Tim Clark, the airline’s president, obliquely acknowledged that Monday by saying that he didn’t want people to “get boxes of tissues out and play the violins” when warning that the industry’s profit margins sit in the low single digits. However, he contended that as airlines have grown larger and carriers consolidated, cost savings have quietly been passed onto consumers now able to book flights across the world.

“It is quite amazing that ticket prices are where they are today,” Clark said. “I think the value-for-money proposition that the consumers have had the benefit from for many decades is something that is one of those hidden bits of the narrative.”

Yvonne Manzi Makolo, the CEO of RwandAir, also highlighted the taxes and fees imposed on carriers by the countries they operate in. She specifically cited those paid by carriers flying out of African nations as “already ridiculous.”
