Anthony Davis suffered a severely sprained ankle

[stylesp]

This just makes Team USA even weaker in the paint.

I hope they chose Cousins - he NEEDS this more than any other player. The vets can help develop his maturity and overall attitude towards the game. His physical dominance and skillset alone should be reason enough to put him on the roster - they desperately need a center anyways.

It was not a "severe" sprain. He should only be out 1-2 weeks per NOLA team website.

Dammit. I was looking to forward to seeing him on team usa

I actually agree, that he "needs" it more.

and phew that was a close one.

Steph Curry syndrome

The "severe" is probably fabricated by the Hornets staff.

Like he had any chance of making the team. This sounds like Rondo's "personal problems" after he got cut 2 years ago.

Oden must be rollin over in his grave rite now

Demarcus Cousins is better at this point anyway.

[senelcoolidge]

He is faking an injury not to go to the Olympics obviously just like all the rest of the lazy assholes.

My thoughts too. He just doesn't want to go to the Olympics or the Hornets don't want him to go.

No way in hell I want that dude representing my country.

No thanks.

Hes probably too scared? But anyway, playing 2-5 minutes in garbage time isnt appealing to me either.

Griffin and Odom will get to build chemistry with CP3 this summer! Clippers will be only team with 3 players representing their team.
