What a difference 297 days makes. It’s easy to forget now, both with Jayson Tatum’s impending return sending a jolt of energy through New England, and the way the Boston Celtics have so greatly outkicked outsider expectations throughout his nine-month absence. But it didn’t feel like things could get much worse for Celtics fans back on May 12. Tatum was in the midst of one of his finest postseason performances before the Achilles rupture that shrouded his future in uncertainty. The Celtics were headed for a 3-1 series deficit against the Knicks, and the reality quickly sunk in that their…

Whether or not Don Sweeney lands any help for his team by now and Friday’s trade deadline, it is a good bet that the Bruins general manager will be shaking the tree to see what falls out until the 3 p.m. ET cut-off. With all the names to which the B’s have been linked over the past couple of weeks, from Robert Thomas to Rasmus Ristolainen to Oliver Ekman-Larson (yet again), you have to assume that Sweeney is at least doing his due diligence. The work may not yield anything – in fact, he did lay the groundwork for standing…

By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Sofia Tepichin was about 30 minutes into her club soccer team practice in October when she spotted a fast-approaching defender. She tapped the ball away and hopped over the defender’s outstretched foot, came down awkwardly and heard a “pop.” She immediately fell to the ground, pain shooting through her left knee and knew it wasn’t good. It was, she said, “heartbreaking.” “And I knew personally that I tore my ACL,” Tepichin said. Tepichin joined the growing ranks of female high school athletes tearing their anterior cruciate ligament, a devastating knee injury that researchers…
