LaVine sank a trio of 3-pointers in the opening quarter. By the end of the first half, he had scored 23 points. In the third quarter, he plucked a ball out of the hands of Jose Alvarado in the paint, then crushed a brutal dunk on the opposite end of the court to tie the score and notch his 16th 30-point game of the season.
Aybar, 24, was claimed off waivers by the Yankees from the Colorado Rockies on March 20 after being designated for assignment two days earlier. He went 2-6 with a 6.22 ERA, 53 strikeouts and two saves in 49 relief outings for the Rockies’ Double-A team, the Hartford Yard Goats, last season.
If the Cubs want multi-inning options behind the starting group, this trio can give them length. Smyly eventually could work his way into the rotation. After reporting to camp Saturday, he’s a little behind, though, making him a likely bullpen arm until his workload gets to a starter level. Thompson is vying for a starting spot and should not be ruled out for opening the year in the rotation. But it would make sense to have the hard thrower as a multi-inning weapon, a role in which he thrived last year for the Cubs. Thompson notably still has minor-league options, as does Steele.
“It really had nothing to do at all with Ayo,” Donovan said. “With Lonzo and Alex being out, if you would have told us back in training camp that Ayo was going to be our starting point guard, I don’t know if anybody would know what that would look like. He has been incredible, man, but I’ve also asked a lot of him in a lot of ways.”
The scheme began in 2012, the year Czernek was elected, and continued almost unabated for his entire time in office, according to his plea agreement with prosecutors. The only exception was 2013, an election year, when it was agreed to pause the kickbacks because Czernek “did not want to draw any scrutiny,” according to his plea agreement with prosecutors.

The school has been rocked by allegations that began to publicly surface in 2020 from hundreds of men who said they were sexually assaulted by the late Robert Anderson, a campus doctor who spent nearly 40 years at Michigan. He died in 2008. In January, the school announced a $490 million settlement with Anderson’s accusers — a separate legal action from the class-action suit brought by Josephine Graham, a University of Michigan senior. Both agreements were reached under the supervision of a court-appointed mediator, the school said.
