  • Anthony Davis, great. Dude is completely underwhelming, IMO.

    What a shame that we could have had yet another OU Olympian and now this is in jeopardy.

    Report: Blake Griffin injures knee

    ESPN.com news services

    Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin injured his knee during a scrimmage at Team USA training camp and is returning to Los Angeles to be examined by the Clippers' doctors, Yahoo! Sports reported.

    Yahoo! Sports reports that Griffin "twisted" his knee and is expected to undergo an MRI exam as soon as Thursday. The website said the severity of Griffin's knee injury was unclear.

    Griffin did not show any obvious signs of an injury on Wednesday.

    New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis, the NBA's 2012 No. 1 overall pick out of Kentucky, has been asked to report to Team USA training camp in Las Vegas "immediately," Yahoo! Sports reported.

    Griffin signed a five-year extension with the Clippers that could be worth as much as $95 million on Wednesday.

    Griffin averaged 20.7 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 66 games last season, helping the Clippers to a 40-26 record -- their first winning season since 2005-06 and their first playoff berth since then, as well. They beat Memphis in the first round, with Griffin averaging 18.0 points and 6.4 rebounds, before losing to San Antonio in the conference semifinals.

    Griffin missed the 2009-10 season with a knee injury after being drafted No. 1 overall by the Clippers. However, he was the only Clippers player to play all 82 games in the 2010-11 season, averaging 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists en route to winning the NBA's Rookie of the Year award.

    Davis had been added to the Hornets' summer league roster on Monday.

    Davis was in Las Vegas last week for U.S. Olympic team tryouts, but a sore left ankle hampered his already slim chances to make the 12-man roster for the London Games.

    The 6-foot-11 Davis had been listed as an Olympic alternate.

  • Its the old curse on OU players who are great and then have a career marred and cut short by injuries. This totally sucks for Blake!!!

  • How bad is the injury?

  • ESPN just reported that Blake will have an MRI on Sunday. They also say that Davis is a temporary replacement for Blake until the doc's figure out if he can play or not.

  • CNNSI's Sam Amick reporting that BG has a slight tear of the medial meniscus in his left knee and will miss the Olympics. It's basically a flare up of the same injury he suffered in the playoffs and will have arthroscopic surgery in order to be ready for training camp in October.

    Hate that for Blake. He just needs to get healthy and fully recover for next season.
