    Blake Griffin has fracture in back

    Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin withdrew last week from Team USA training camp for the FIBA World Cup because he was advised by doctors to give a small fracture in his back more time to heal before the start of the next NBA season, sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com.

    Griffin is expected to make a full recovery from the injury, which sources say was suffered during the playoffs. However, doctors advised him to sit out international competition this summer for precautionary reasons.

    Good that it's nothing serious!

    I would be seriously sad for the league if Griffin went out with a bad injury, Rose, Roy, Amare, Tmac, Yao.... they were taken too soon damnet!!!

    The medical terms they used are preposterous.

    At least he has a legit injury unlike Kevin Love.

    I do wonder which flop may have caused this fracture.

    Who cares. There is a not a single country on Earth that can compete with us other than Spain and even so they are not truly a threat.

    True, but Ibaka and the Gasol bros is pretty scary. Add in a healthy Rubio and they can give Team USA a run for their money.

    I don't know but this type of stuff might have a tiny bit to do with it.

    I'm not so sure about this. If Team USA plays truly like a team (as they did in 2010), I doubt it. The 2010 squad had an identity and players swallowed their egos.

    If Tony Parker hadn't pulled out I would have pegged France as the favorites.
