may the casualties begin
The first casualty of team USA is Gilbert Arenas as he is sent packing after suffering a groin strain during practice. Given his history no chances are being taken and he will be seeking treatment upon his arrival back home.
"We know Gilbert is really disappointed, he's done a great job.
It's an unfortunate situation but he is not going
to be able to continue on," managing director
Jerry Colangelo said. "We're concerned because he
has had a history regarding groin pulls. This is a
precautionary move but it is important that he
return home and get treatment"

Interestingly Arenas has been averaging only 11 minutes per game in the tune-ups leaving the door open for the other point guards to step right in and claim the spot (Kirk Hinrich and Chris Paul even possibly Dwayne Wade)
