Oh crap, Taychaun just went down during the game. Hope he's okay. He had to be helped by two trainers side by side supporting his shoulders. It looks like he landed one of his foot wrongly. It looks like he has a sprained ankle.

Hope it`s not serious. I posted in the FIBA thread about the possibilty of an injury.

The fatigue factor is not the concern!

If Taychaun misses any games when the season starts, that new kid the Piston just signed Jarvis Hayes is going to get more play time than previously thought. They brought him in as a backup for him or so I read.

ESPN didn't report anything more about Tay for the rest of the game, since they don't have any sideline reporters there. Hopefully we'll hear something tomorrow.

They said something during the game about a sprained ankle. So that probably is it for him and team USA.

Hopefully it's nothing. These guys probably get these minor injuries all the time in the offseason pickup games and we never hear about them.

I know Tay's selection was something of a surprise, so does that mean he may not be there for the Games? I would just hate to see him punish himself in the offseason and not get a shot at a gold medal...especially now that it finally means something again in basketball.

Isn't DWade going to take someone's spot for the olympics?

hope not

That's what I was thinking. Late additions like Wade would probably force Tay off the team.
