A worry - LeBron James looks calm despite injury
NBA superstar LeBron James is in doubt for the Olympics after suffering an ankle injury colliding with teammate Kevin Durant yesterday.
The news comes days after fellow superstars Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade struggled to recover from their respective injuries in time for Beijing.
USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said he remains calm and collected about the Dream Team's injury crisis.
"It looks nothing serious" Krzyzewski said.
The Dream Team, who are raging favourites to take out the Gold in Beijing, appeared settled despite injuries to key personal.
Dwight Howard is still trying to recover from a sternum injury while Dwayne Wade battles soreness on his left knee.
But it was James, who caused the biggest concern among the American faithful.
The Cleveland Cavaliers star tripped over teammate Kevin Durant, in the process damaging his ankle.
Medical staff say the injury is not serious. It is unlikely though that James will partake in any physical activity until early August.
The Dream Team will kick off their Olympic campaign in group B, alongside World champion Spain, hosts China, Greece, Germany, and Angola.
Olympic champions Argentina, Australia, Lithuania, Russia, Iran and Croatia round out group A.
The first four from each group will qualify for the quarter finals.
