As a busy summer has only begun for the USA men's basketball team, an integral member of the squad has gone down with injury as Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin will have to head home to L.A. after injuring his knee during a scrimmage on Wednesday, according to Yahoo! Sports's Adrian Wojonarwoski.
Per Adrian Wojonarwoski on Twitter:
Blake Griffin hurt his knee in a Team USA scrimmage Wednesday and is returning to LA to be examined by team doctors, sources tell Y! Sports.

Wojonarwoski would also note that Blake injured his left knee, the same one that he sprained during the Clippers playoff run this season. As a replacement team USA has called for Anthony Davis to join the team as soon as possible in Las Vegas to fill the void left by Griffin.
Hopefully the injury won't be too serious, though with his previous history of knee issues this could spell big trouble for his chances at winning Gold in London this year.
