USA Basketball: Anthony Davis Called to Report to Team USA After Griffin Injury

Team USA took a blow today as Blake Griffin reportedly, according to Adrian Wojnarowksi, twisted his knee at practice. Anthony Davis was called to report to camp as a replacement for Griffin.

 A significant injury to Griffin would be a big blow to Team USA as the team is already missing big men to injury. They are weak in the front court with Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love as the team's big men without Griffin.

It will be interesting to see Davis compete with the team and see if he can earn playing time. The transition could be tough as Davis hasn't competed against pro-level players like this on a big stage.

The Olympic games could be more challenging now for the US as they don't have the bodies to guard Spain's size. The Gasol brothers, Pau and Marc, will certainly create even more matchup problems for the US, who will likely have to use Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James at the four position. 

Davis is by far the youngest player on the team, but he may be asked to contribute very quickly. More will play out in the next few days, as Griffin is expected to get an MRI. The knee injured is the one he had problems with during the season, making this injury even more potentially problematic.
