As you know, Anthony Davis chances of making the Olympic team as reports of him spraining his ankle in a workout with the New Orleans Hornets.
USA Olympic Coach Mike Krzyzewski still sounds optimistic about Davis’ being in Las Vegas for the tryouts.

“There’s no definitive word yet on that,” Krzyzewski said as he packed to leave for the next six weeks. “We’re still planning on him coming out to Vegas and see what his condition is going forward. We haven’t talked to any doctors or anything like that.”
Krzyzewski reiterated that the first two days of training camp before the announcement of the 12-man roster on July 7 that will head to London isn’t a tryout. He hinted that a player who is hurt can still be on the team.
“If they’re a part of the 18, there’s no such thing as a tryout anymore,” Krzyzewski said. “You become part of a pool and then there is a competition, and then there are contract situations, family situations, then we get to the 12 of the pool. It’s not like the guy gets cut. Once you’re in the pool, you’re in the pool.”
