Per Tyreke's brother's Twitter Reke tweaked ankle in Team USA Practice

As my longstanding stance has been that Tyreke should stay in L.A. and workout the rest of the summer, as long as its not serious I can't get too upset by this. If somebody else gets picked to the team and Reke gets to sit this one out witg the ankle as an excuse, might even be a good thing.

But what are the odds that happens?? Slim to none, IMO.
Reke is a 20 year old kid living the dream, and has been asked to play for his country...not likely to give that up.

Which is why the injury could even be a good thing -- if he has to sit out the Team USA practices, it might take the decision out of his hands. They go with somebody else. And because he was hurt, rather than just beat out for a spot, it saves face. There's no failure angle to it.
 
i am with you brick. Don't get me wrong I love my country but don't care much about the USA basketball team. If the Kings played the USA team I would be for the Kings.
 
Look at this: twitter actualy being used for something useful rather than the normal 12:04pm "I picked my nose!" 12:08pm "I ate it!" stuff.
 
nope met him right about the start of the season...... Doc is actually a rapper and heard my music and we've been collaborating ever since.

Very good. It is nice to know we have someone sort of a bit of an insider at Tyreke's Team.:D

Give us more update and oftenly Dude. Much appreciated.

Agreed. If it keeps him from making the team, and it's something he can recover from in a couple of weeks, it could be a very good thing.
 
I’m glad that it’s nothing serious…I love to see Tyreke in representing the US but I hope that he makes the time to work on his game. And the last thing I want is, to see him tired half way into the season. I guess he did it last year and played through fatigue so it might not even be a problem.

Works for me. Between the ankle tweak and Beno catching not-starting-itis, it looks like Omri's the only one tiring himself out this summer.

Wasn't Omri the only one that looked as if he was exhausted last year at all-star break. Sounds promising for Omri.
 
Oh golly gee willickers and darn and stuff. I was soooooooooooooooooo looking forward to him wasting his summ...I mean representing his country and stuff.


Oh well, when life gives you lemons, throw 'em out and go buy some chocolate. Back to your boot camp and shooting drills young man!
 
I'm happy with this news. He'll be able to stay healthy now and can concentrate on improving his game instead of impressing the US coaches. Let his game grow, then when he is a veteran he can represent his country.

man, dubs fans are going to hold this over our heads forever haha

No they won't, or at least won't be able to hold it long over the heads of any intelligent Kings fan. That was always the beauty of the ankle injury. Could end up not going this summer, and not have it reflect on his abilities/rep anymore than David Lee lost face for hurting his finger.
