Davis was named an alternate to the roster last weekend. Witnesses say Griffin twisted his knee during the scrimmage and expects to undergo an MRI as early as this afternoon.
So you’re saying there’s a chance…
UPDATE: Jerry Colangelo was seen turning this on a few hours ago…

London Bridge is browing down, browing down…….

I’ve been told it’s wrong to wish an injury on someone. Shame on all of you! 0_o
July 12th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!! BBN INVADES LONDON!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
GOLD!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Isn’t it weird that a Griffin basically robbed Davis (ESPY), while a Griffin hands him an olympic gold?
July 12th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Go get ‘em Anthony! Finally, a reason to truly care about watching those games.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:04 pm
Feel terrible for Griffin because he would actually be great for the team physically, but what an opportunity for Davis, if this happens.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
#2 – you should trademark that! And put it on a Catucky T-Shirt.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Wonder if Davis will possibly play in the Vegas scrimmage tonight?
July 12th, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Griffin better offensively. Davis better defensively.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
I don’t know why, I just knew this was going to happen.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
mocha, That’s some good Shit right there !!!!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
11.) No way Griffin is better offensively … He is about 900 times stronger and much more athletic, but he shoots about 25% outside the paint.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
For sure now, this team is better than Dream Team. . . right Kobe?
Can I get a . . Sir Anthony!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Hope Griffin isn’t hurt bad, but he never should have been on the squad to begin with. He brings nothing to the table other than a cool dunk here and there.If AD takes his place then the team just got better.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
9. He can’t trademark it. Didn’t you know Blue Zone came up with that idea? They came up with every idea that had already been out for a month.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:24 pm
10 blocks for AD….
July 12th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
Sir Anthony !!!!!!!!!!!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
That picture is AWESOME.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Gold medal for Anthony would have to complete the best year of an athlete has had in a long, long time.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:44 pm
One step at a time, Boogie next, as long as Davis is not hurt. Wonder if he hurt himself attempting to guard or dunking on Boogie?
July 12th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
The brow signal!!!
July 12th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Another example of why Davis is the best male college athlete… ESPY
July 12th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
It won’t be long till the Olympics will all be UK former players with Cal as the coach. Wall Cousins MKG Davis still waiting for that top shooting gaurd. Try and stop that line up world
July 12th, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Woulda been funnier of colangilo had to ask (beg) Boogie to join the team…
July 12th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
So if AD does play tonight, will Cal ‘run’ some plays to get AD some blocks?
July 12th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
I love the Brow signal. What next, the Brow-mobile?
July 12th, 2012 at 4:07 pm
The Brow Cave
July 12th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
“Ka-Brow” “Block” “Dunk”
July 12th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Holy Holes in The Doughnut, Browman, the USA needs you!
July 12th, 2012 at 10:27 pm
now AD can block a Spanish 3 pointer with time winding down to win the Gold for the USA…and Colangelo will look like a genius (albeit forced upon him by injury)…go AD
