Portland only deals with shattered knees, tbh. Ankles aren't their M.O.

New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis sidelined by left ankle sprain; Olympic status to be reevaluated later in week

An ankle injury, that one source termed "lightly sprained" could keep New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis out for one to two weeks, jeopardizing his chance at making the U.S. Olympic basketball team.
Davis injured his left ankle in a Saturday workout at the Alario Center, and there were reports on Monday that the injury was severe. The Hornets are considering Davis "day-to-day."
The injury is not severe, according to a league source. His status on his ability to work in the Olympic basketball training camp that begins Friday in Las Vegas will be evaluated later in the week.
Anthony Davis Sr., Davis's father, said by phone on Monday that he didn't know any details about the injury.
"I have no idea," the elder Davis said. "I don't know anything about his ankle. I haven't heard anything."
Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick, quoting USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo, said Colangelo was still gathering information regarding the injury.
"Just getting a report that his ankle is serious doesn't mean anything to me until we get an official doctor's report on what that means," Colangelo told the magazine. "Does it mean he can't practice for a week? Does it mean he's out for a month? You know what I'm saying. I don't like to speculate." Players are gathering at week's end in Las Vegas for USA Basketball's pre-Olympic training camp and Davis is on the roster to attend.
Damn... He was suppose to have a training session with coach K on the 4th...
At this point it's inevitable, Demarcus Cousins sold his soul to the devil to be on this team.![]()
It'd be entertaining at least.
Tonya Harding is from Portland. Coincidence?
I already imagine DeMarcus Cousins ing at Kobe and the media for not passing him the ball. It will make the Team USA win more dramatic.
Oh yeah, suck it world. As long as LeBron, Durant and Kobe show up, we're going to win.![]()

Because of those bolded mistakes, Portland probably disowned her.Her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, and her bodyguard, Shawn Eckhardt, hired Shane Stant to break Kerrigan's right leg so that she would be unable to skate. He followed her to Detroit after failing to find her at her training rink in Massachusetts, and struck her on the thigh a few inches above the knee with a collapsible police baton. Her leg was only bruised, not broken, but the injury forced her to withdraw from the national championship.
So Bosh out, Wade out, Davis out..what are the chances team USA repeats as Champs?
As long as neither LeBron nor Durant drop out, I think Team USA is going to stay the favorite no matter who else they put out on the court.
Honestly, if we completely run out of post players, we could line up LeBron at center and Durant at the 4 and round the team out with some shooters and I would still like our odds.
They'll still win Gold.
They have the two best players in the world and a veteran Kobe Bryant.
I am more worried about not having Bosh because of the lack of bigs. Plus, he's proven to be a good international player. The wade injury was to be expected given how he uncharacteristically performed in the playoffs...he looked hobbled in a lot of games. When it came to wade, I had already accepted the fact that he wouldn't play. I thought Bosh would've played...him dropping from compe ion is disappointing.
Experimenting with Anthony Davis would produce similar results to the Emeka Okafor experiment of the 2004 Olympics. I'd also rather take legit bigs with meat, international bigs are slow, big, and physical...it be best to take someone like Cousins...it's not like we have any more options at this point. Every big man looks to be going down.
That's a bad omen, hopefully he doesn't turn out to be too fragile for the NBA
