Blake Griffin off Olympic team with knee injury

WASHINGTON -- Blake
Griffin has officially withdrawn from the Olympics and Anthony Davis has
been added to the U.S. basketball team's roster.
Griffin needs
surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and joins a lengthy
list of American stars that are sidelined this summer.
Davis
replaced him in the Americans' 113-59 exhibition victory over the
Dominican Republic on Thursday in Las Vegas, scoring nine points in the
fourth quarter. The No. 1 overall draft pick couldn't be put on the
12-man roster for London until Griffin had withdrawn Friday.
"Blake
worked extremely hard in our training camp and certainly would have
been a valuable contributor," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo
said in a statement. "This is another unfortunate injury, but we have to
continue to move on and we're very fortunate to have Anthony Davis
available. Anthony offers our team additional height and length, and
this will be an incredible experience for him."
Davis sprained his
ankle during a workout with the New Orleans Hornets and was unable to
scrimmage when the Americans opened training camp last Friday, ruining
any chance he had of making the original 12-man roster. But Colangelo,
intrigued by Davis' skills, asked the 6-foot-10 forward to stick around
with the select team of young players that was training against the
national team, knowing he could be called upon as a replacement if there
were another injury.
The college player of the year at national
champion Kentucky last season brings rebounding and shot blocking to a
team that has lost Griffin, Dwight Howard and Chris Bosh from its
frontcourt.
"Whatever Coach K wants me to do I am going to do,"
Davis said. "I am going to look forward to the challenges, and I'm
looking forward to going overseas and my first time out of the United
States. I am looking forward to that and getting to mingle with some of
the guys and getting to know them and their workout routines and how
they get ready for each game. They are superstars and they are here for a
reason, so I'll just try to emulate what they do."
Davis made a
quick impression Thursday in his nine minutes on the floor, highlighted
by a 3-pointer he hit while being fouled just in front of the U.S.
bench.
Griffin hurt his knee during the playoffs and played
through the pain before the Clippers were eliminated. He was playing
well in camp and being counted on as an option at center before
experiencing pain in the knee following practice Wednesday. He flew back
to Los Angeles on Thursday and an MRI exam revealed the extent of the
injury.
"I'm disappointed I can't be with the guys in London,"
Griffin said. "I want to wish them all the best in their pursuit of the
gold medal."
Davis will become just the third player to suit up
for the U.S. in the Olympics without playing in the pros since NBA
players were first used in 1992, joining the Dream Team's Christian
Laettner and former Connecticut center Emeka Okafor in 2004. He will be
back on the court with the Americans when they have their first practice
here Saturday.
