Dosunmu, 21, a Chicago native who starred at Morgan Park, led the Illini to the Big Ten Tournament title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season. He was a consensus first-team All-American and won the Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard.
Doyle, who grew up in the central Illinois town of Boody, played 15-a-side rugby at Eastern before being introduced to the sevens at Chicago North Shore club during her senior year in college. Though she has played center for most of her career with the national team, she switched to fly-half to take advantage of her passing ability.
Cunningham attended the draft wearing a dark suit, shirt and tie with sparkles on his collars and cuffs. When the pick was announced, Cunningham kissed 2-year-old daughter Riley, sitting on his lap, then hugged family members and took the stage alongside NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to don a blue Pistons hat.
Flint was arrested in police raids more than 16 times, according to Baim’s book. A lawyer helped him expunge his arrest records after defending him in a particularly onerous case. Then, in 1969, he started a bar of his own in River North. With the Baton struggling in the early days, he assembled a makeshift stage out of plywood and beer cases, and held his first drag show. By then, he was performing as Felicia, his roller-skating drag alter ego.
According to two people with knowledge of the deal, the Lakers are trading Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell to Washington for Westbrook, who is a Los Angeles native and helped lead UCLA to a pair of Final Four appearances. The Lakers have the 22nd pick in Thursday’s draft.
Just a day before the lottery, though, a judge ordered that the licenses can’t be awarded until he rules on a lawsuit challenging the process.

“This will always be home for me,” Rizzo said. “My best friend in the game, Jon Lester, did the same thing, and said he has two special places in his heart. For these next three months it’s going to be fun to be back in a race. Seeing the Yankees pull the trigger like this, get Gallo and me now, obviously. That’s what they do, and it’s very exciting.”
The Office of Labor Standards, which was created in 2019 to enforce the city’s minimum wage, paid sick time and anti-wage theft laws, recently completed an investigation into Tri City Foods, a Downers Grove-based company that bills itself as the second-largest franchisee in the Burger King restaurant chain. Alerted by an employee, investigators found that Tri City Foods allegedly failed to grant paid sick leave to 2,473 employees at 40 Burger King locations in Chicago between July 2017 and November 2020, the city said.
