But these are franchise players though. PG was the cornerstone for Indy and Big Cuz is the anchor for Sacramento. these aren't undrafted summer league players fighting for a roster spot in the league


Actually, it would be worse for a summer league guy... at least these players know they'll be taken care of. Guaranteed deals, etc.


I hope boogie is ok, the fukkery of having him on their bench all season would be too much to handle.

Injuries happen in sports

Pretty much. I had the same visceral reaction as everybody else when PG got hurt but the reality is guys are gonna play and they are gonna get hurt.

Yeah im glad Kawhi decided to sit this tournament out
Pops prolly made that decision for him. Spurs might have 2 more trophies if it wasn't for these countrymen and pops said fukk that. Spurs could've been as big of dynasty as bulls celtics and lakers but sacrificed that shyt for a bunch of runner-up finishes cuz we all know these country's stand no chance against the US.

Yes, I'm bitter and biased after Yao Ming.

DeMarcus Cousins limped off the USA practice court with a knee injury following a collision with Kenneth Faried on Thursday.
Cousins walked of the court under his own power and the injury is not feared to be serious. In the wake of Paul George's devastating leg injury, there is more attention being paid to the risk team USA players are taking by participating in international events. An updated diagnosis on Boogie's injury should be coming shortly. Aug 14 - 2:11 PM

DeMarcus Cousins (knee) will have an MRI on his right knee after crashing to the floor during team USA practice on Thursday.
Director of team USA basketball Jerry Colangelo called the MRI "precautionary" and Cousins is unlikely to play for the rest of the week, including the team's exhibition game against Brazil. He was already on the roster bubble with team USA, and missing practice time may further hurt his chances of making the team. More importantly, if this injury proves to be more serious than initially thought, the Sacramento Kings and other teams around the league will continue to voice their displeasure with star players risking injury for international competitions. Aug 14 - 2:44 PM

Doesn't seem that bad.
