LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The U.S.A. Olympic Basketball Team is busy practicing in Las Vegas for the upcoming Summer Games in Beijing.
Heat star Dwyane Wade said, "I'm so excited. I don't know how to explain it. I don't know how I can contain it. We have a lot of comaraderie out here. Everyone wants to see each other succeed."
Wade's teammate Lebron James suffered what's described as a mild ankle sprain during the team's workout on Tuesday. Wade himself is coming back from left knee surgery. Team officials have been encouraged by Wade's performance during training camp.
The U.S.A. Basketball team will train all week, then leave for China next week, where they'll play a series of exhibition games before the Olympics begin in August.
