Tyreke Evans Cut from US Basketball Team

I'm actually glad to hear it. First, Tyreke Evans didn't have a chance because he got injured and couldn't scrimmage. Now, he gets a chance to rest his injured ankle and prepare for next season. I may be selfish, but I'm not a fan of letting your franchise players participate in the World Championships. Basketball players' careers are relatively short; they only have about 10 good years in them, unless they're Karl Malone. Playing in the World Championships can lead in injuries and just more wear and tear in a player's body. Summer's a chance for them to let their bodies heal. The Sacramento Kings need him to be healthy for the upcoming season.
