It’s looking like the same old song and dance right now for Zion Williamson. Shams Charania of ESPN appeared Friday on “NBA Today” and shared a pessimistic update about the New Orleans Pelicans star Williamson and the latest injury that he is nursing. Williamson is out with a hamstring issue and was initially expected to miss four-to-six weeks. But Charania now reports that Williamson could be sidelined well beyond that timeline. “I am told Zion Williamson is not remotely close to coming back to the floor,” said Charania . “He’s gonna be out a while longer. This is an injury [that is] typically a four-to-six-week injury ... But the Pelicans are bracing for him to be out beyond that point. I am told he has received multiple injections in that hamstring.” The 24-year-old Williamson was averaging 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game through his first six games for the Pelicans this season. But he strained his hamstring on Nov. 6 in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and has not played since (now having missed seven games and counting). Four-to-six weeks would have Williamson returning some time around mid-December, but now it looks like the former No. 1 overall pick won’t be back in action until next calendar year. After appearing in a career-high 70 games last season and reportedly losing a good amount of weight over the summer , Williamson’s trademark injury woes are now back in a big way.

Johannesburg, Dec 11 (PTI): South Africa will use the G20 Presidency that it assumed at the beginning of this month to further push the shared goals of member countries, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola has said. Lamola delivered the opening remarks at the first G20 Sherpas meeting on Monday where he said that South Africa's presidency will be held under the theme Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability, which seeks to harness global will and capabilities to confront the enormous challenges the world is facing. "South Africa will use its G20 Presidency to secure urgent progress on shared goals through several priority actions. These include strengthening disaster resilience and response; ensuring debt sustainability for low-income countries; mobilising finance for a just energy transition; and harnessing critical minerals for inclusive growth and development," Lamola said. "In the spirit of Ubuntu, our shared humanity, we will address these challenges through our high-level deliverables and priorities, which lie at the core of the original G20 mandate of promoting strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth and by building partnerships across all sectors of society to find collective solutions," he added. The minister said three temporary task forces, an initiative and a commission will be established during South Africa's G20 Presidency. These would include the priorities of inclusive economic growth, industrialisation, employment and reduced inequality; food security; and artificial intelligence, data governance and innovation for sustainable development. "A review of the work of the G20, 'The G20 at 20 years: A Reflection on Key Achievements and the Way Forward', will also feature as one of South Africa's deliverables through a Sherpa Track Initiative. South Africa also proposes the establishment of a Cost of Capital Commission during its G20 Presidency," Lamola said. The minister said that the South African government would continue the significant strides made by the Brazilian G20 Presidency in enhancing the G20 as a site of democratic global engagement through a comprehensive dialogue with civil society and other state and non-state institutions. He said that in the same way that Brazil had done, a G20 Social Forum will be convened ahead of the Leaders’ Summit in November 2025, to bring together representatives of the existing engagement groups and other segments of civil society that may offer meaningful contributions to the G20. "As we build on the past and set the tone for the future, we must accentuate the need to adhere to universal values, shared norms, and strong multilateral institutions. Now more than ever, multilateral institutions must be strengthened and reformed to deliver broad global consensus and serve as platforms to resolve disputes. "The multilateral institutions with economic and developmental mandates must be strengthened, as the need for their intervention is even much bigger now," Lamola said as he reaffirmed that the UN has to remain at the core of this multilateral approach. "We must remain committed to multilateralism and upholding international law and ensure that the UN remains the centrepiece of this multilateralism," he said. "While international cooperation and multilateralism are currently confronted with divisive geopolitics, unprecedented challenges such as climate change, slow economic growth, and deepening poverty, the G20 must make strides in forging practical, mutually beneficial cooperation that champions an international order that is fairer, just, inclusive, and representative," Lamola said as he called for the G20 to use its platform to shine the spotlight on agenda 2063 of the African Union.

The Bard has spoken. With the release of “ A Complete Unknown ” — the movie based on Bob Dylan ’s rise to fame as a young singer — now weeks away, he shared a message about the film, starring Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet . Dylan, 83, has become a more regular user of X, formerly Twitter, just as many have left the social network for other online spaces. So it’s no surprise that’s where he addressed the coming film Wednesday afternoon. “There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!),” Dylan said. “Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.” Chalamet, 28, filmed “A Complete Unknown” in New Jersey and New York this year with director James Mangold (”Walk the Line,” “Girl, Interrupted,” “Cop Land,” “Ford v Ferrari”). READ MORE: See Timothée Chalamet filming Bob Dylan movie in Hoboken as Chalamaniacs buzz around set Jersey spots in the movie, many of them standing in for 1960s Manhattan, include Hoboken , Jersey City , Kearny, Newark , Paterson , Plainfield, Elizabeth, Belleville, West Orange, Kinnelon, Blairstown, Skillman, Highlands, Mountainside , Clifton, Alpine, Red Bank and Cape May (subbing in for Newport, Rhode Island). They were still filming as of June , so the movie, distributed by Searchlight Pictures, was turned around quickly, in time for consideration at the 2025 Oscars. The first trailer for the film was released in July. Chalamet sings Dylan’s songs in the film, including “ Blowin’ in the Wind ” (1963), “ A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall ” (1963) and “ Like A Rolling Stone ” (1965). The movie centers on the beginning of young Dylan’s journey as a folk music enthusiast and artist on the rise and culminates in his controversial decision to “go electric” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival , where he first publicly performed “Like a Rolling Stone.” There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah... The 19-year-old Minnesota native arrives in New York City in 1961, propelled by his love for his folk hero, Woody Guthrie , who had Huntington’s disease and died in 1967. He visits the ailing singer-songwriter, played by Scoot McNairy , at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Morris Plains, and meets fellow folk star Pete Seeger , played by Edward Norton . Seeger takes Dylan under his wing as the young talent goes from budding performer to standout voice and great hope for spreading the gospel of folk. “The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015,” Dylan continued in his post. “It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.” MORE: See Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan in first trailer for ‘A Complete Unknown,’ filmed in N.J. Mangold’s script, written with Jay Cocks (”Gangsters of New York”), is based on the book, full title “ Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night that Split the Sixties .” The movie’s title comes from the lyrics of “ Like a Rolling Stone .” “How does it feel?” Dylan sings. “To be on your own, with no direction home / A complete unknown, like a rolling stone.” Director James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet on the set of "A Complete Unknown." The movie filmed extensively in New Jersey. Macall Polay | Searchlight Pictures Emmy nominee Elle Fanning co-stars as Sylvie Russo , a character based on artist Suze Rotolo , who was in a relationship with Dylan at the start of his career and appears with him on the cover of his 1963 album “ The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan .” Monica Barbaro (”Top Gun”) plays folk star Joan Baez , who had a relationship with Dylan on and offstage. Barbaro also sings in the movie. Boyd Holbrook (”The Bikeriders”) plays Johnny Cash . Dylan, a Cash fan, became a friend of the Man in Black, and their dynamic is depicted in the film. Mangold, of course, told the story of Cash and his wife, June Carter, in “ Walk the Line ” (2005), starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon , who won an Oscar for playing June. “ A Complete Unknown ” is in theaters Dec. 25.

The New York Knicks waived Matt Ryan on Sunday to make room for Landry Shamet on the roster, but the team intends to re-sign the 6'6" forward to a two-way deal once he clears waivers. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported the news. Ryan was a local star who grew up in New York. He was born in White Plains and starred at Iona Prep in New Rochelle, where he became Mr. New York Basketball and was named a first-team Parade All-American. Ryan is a well-traveled hooper who played college ball at three schools (Notre Dame, Vanderbilt and Chattanooga) and has suited up for five NBA teams (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans and Knicks) in his four NBA seasons. He's also played for five G-League teams. The 27-year-old has only averaged 10.4 minutes over his 72 games, but he's shot 39.7 percent from three-point range during that time, posting 4.1 PPG in the process. Ryan hasn't played much with the Knicks this year (45 minutes over nine games). There may not be room for Ryan to carve out playing time on the active roster at the moment, but he'll certainly be getting time with the G-League's Westchester Knicks with the two-way deal.
