New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis, taken No. 1 in last week's NBA draft, could be forced to withdraw from Team USA consideration after suffering a sprained left ankle in a Hornets workout Sunday. ESPN.com reported last week that Davis was scheduled to travel to Las Vegas for an Independence Day workout in front of Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski along with Los Angeles Clippers teammates Blake Griffin and Lamar Odom, auditioning for spots on this summer's Olympic team one day before the official start of training camp. The rest of Team USA's training camp invitees are due to arrive Friday. But sources said Monday that Davis is expected to be sidelined “up to two weeks” because of the ankle sprain. Davis, Griffin and Odom were all under consideration to fill a roster spot to address a growing void in the Team USA frontcourt created by injuries to Orlando'sDwight Howard, Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge and Miami's Chris Bosh.
