Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self was released from the hospital Saturday following a procedure to insert two stents, the school announced. Self had checked into Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Thursday after experiencing “concerning symptoms” and feeling unwell.
“I want to thank all the amazing doctors and nurses at LMH Health for the excellent care I received during my stay,” Self said in a statement. “I feel strong and am excited to be home. Our team has had a productive summer, and I’m looking forward to recharging and preparing for the upcoming season.”

This marks the second heart-related procedure for the 62-year-old coach in just over two years. In March 2023, Self underwent a heart catheterization and had two stents placed to treat blocked arteries, causing him to miss the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments. Kansas, a No. 1 seed that year, was eliminated in the second round by No. 8 Arkansas.
At the time, Self had reported chest tightness and balance issues, prompting immediate medical attention.
Self has typically been a steady presence on the Kansas sideline since taking over in 2003, missing only a handful of games.
Despite the health setbacks, Self remains one of the most accomplished coaches in the sport. He signed a $53 million deal in 2023, making him the highest-paid coach in college basketball.
In 2017, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and is entering his 33rd season as a head coach. Self holds an 831-261 career record with four Final Four appearances and two national championships on his resume.

Parker’s team question Usyk injury amid world title stand-off
Joseph Parker's promoter David Higgins has questioned Oleksandr Usyk's injury amid a stand-off in fight negotiations.Usyk, the undisputed world heavyweight champion, has requested an extension to the deadline for talks for a WBO mandatory title fight against Parker due to an injury. But footage has recently emerged on social media of the Ukrainian dancing at a music concert.Parker's promoter Higgins told Sky Sports: "I haven't actually seen the medical evidence but you would think that a serious injury would prevent that sort of activity."Usyk and Parker are yet to open talks for the fight, which was initially ordered on July 24 with a 30-day window to agree terms before a purse bid.

2026 NFL Draft preseason big board: This QB class is going to be fun; OL and EDGE are deep and talented groups
Twelve months ago, quarterback Cameron Ward was No. 24 on my top 50 big board. By late April, he was the first-overall pick. It was the seventh time in the last eight drafts (and nine of the last 11) that a quarterback has been selected No. 1. The lesson: there's a lot we don't know as the college football season gets underway, and much will change between now and the 2026 NFL Draft. Ward, for example, was considered an early Day 3 prospect during his 2023 season. He then transferred from Washington State to Miami, had a fantastic 2024 campaign and ended up going first overall to the Titans.This is my annual preseason top 50 Big Board. I like to think of it more as a starting point on a road map that ends 239 days from now in Pittsburgh at […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Sleepers, breakouts and busts by computer that forecasted Stroud’s rough year
The San Francisco 49ers had an unexpected leading rusher last season, as Christian McCaffrey only played in four games and primary backup Elijah Mitchell suffered a season-ending injury. Jordan Mason was elevated to the top of the depth chart, and he wound up being a Fantasy football sleeper. Mason had 789 rushing yards and three touchdowns, flashing big-play potential. He was traded to Minnesota in the offseason, joining Aaron Jones in the backfield.Paying attention to depth charts can be an important component of building a Fantasy football strategy.

Lions, despite coaching departures, determined to finish what they’ve started
<!--> [--> Carmen Vitali NFL Reporter <!--> --> The Detroit Lions aren’t taking the step back most think they are. Sure, they’ve seen two coordinators and multiple assistants move on and no one is fully immune from that kind of attrition.But the Lions have something under head coach Dan Campbell that can’t and won’t leave the building as long as he’s at the helm: they have belief.They also have a lot more motivation now that they have doubters again.Last year’s early exit from the postseason was already enough to keep the sour taste in the mouths of players and coaches alike. It was enough to chip their shoulders and inspire the defiant spirit that has become so synonymous with this team.Now that they have built-in rivals that were once so familiar, now that the narrative around the league is one of […]

2025 NFL Preview: San Francisco 49ers
Head Coach: Kyle Shanahan (ninth season) PFF projected win total: 10.0 2024 Record: 6-11 (fourth in NFC West) Biggest Strength: Offensive Star Power When healthy — a big caveat of late — the 49ers have as much offensive firepower as any NFL team. Brock Purdy is an above-average starting quarterback. Christian McCaffrey was the best running back in the NFL in 2023. Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall comprise a solid group of young wide receivers. George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL, and the offensive line is a solid unit headlined by Trent Williams and Dominick Puni. If McCaffrey, Aiyuk and Williams, in particular, are healthy, the 49ers still have a dangerous offensive unit. Biggest Weakness: Defensive Line Beyond Nick Bosa, San Francisco lacks proven defensive line depth. The front office drafted three such players […]
