LAS VEGAS (AP) - As Team USA's practice ended, LeBron James reclined on a table with trainers tending to his sprained right ankle.
A horde of television cameramen surrounded James and the trainers before team officials shooed them away.
The Americans described the injury as minor. It occurred Tuesday when James landed on Kevin Durant's foot during a closed scrimmage between Team USA and a select squad of young NBA players at Valley High School.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said he would know more on Wednesday, after James has had a chance to rest.
"He thinks it's a mild sprain," Krzyzewski said. "Our trainers think it's a mild sprain. So we'll find out tomorrow. But I don't think it's anything serious. Obviously, we'll look and see what happens tomorrow."
does anyone have an article how the first 2 scrimmages between the select team and team USA went?
And i think LeBron will be ok. We really raelly need him.

Some statistical criterion can be deceiving. Lebron has a shooting stroke comparable to Chuck Hayes, he looks like a 20%ish three point shooter to me. 32% beyond the arc means he's stepping into Mike Miller and/or Stephen Jacksons territory, which we all know is far from the truth.
