CHICAGO -- Team USA is hoping for the best after watching another player get helped off the court with an injury. Joey Votto Jersey . Sacramento Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins hurt his right knee when he got tangled with Anthony Davis after both big men hit the floor going after a loose ball during a scrimmage toward the end of Thursdays practice. The World Cup of Basketball is just two weeks away. "Definitely scary, not just the fact that he went down, but the fact that I actually was the one who dove on him," Davis said. "I kind of feel bad and I hope hes fine because he really wants to be here. He really wants to play." Cousins watched the end of the scrimmage with a bag of ice on his knee as trainers milled around his table. He took a few ginger steps while players were coming off the floor. "Were hopeful its just a bruise or a slight sprain, but we wont really know until he gets his MRI," said Jerry Colangelo, the managing director of USA Basketball. "We hope it turns out to be nothing, but more precautionary than anything else. But nothing definitive until we get the results." It was the Americans first workout since Paul George broke his right leg in a gruesome injury that occurred during an intrasquad scrimmage on Aug. 1 in Las Vegas. Kevin Durant also withdrew from the team last week. Colangelo said he spoke with the team about Georges injury. "I think time heals," Colangelo said after practice. "What took place after a few days is that in checking with all the players, they were all in, looking forward to coming to Chicago and everyone showed and they played really hard today, so were pleased." The U.S. is expected to practice again on Friday, and hosts Brazil in an exhibition at the United Center on Saturday night. Colangelo said Cousins likely wouldnt play for the next couple of days. The roster is at 16 players after Rudy Gay joined the pool following Durants departure. It has to be cut to 12 before the World Cup begins on Aug. 30. Bryce Harper Jersey . The blockbuster trade that will send Kevin Love to team up with LeBron James in Cleveland will be completed on Saturday, making the Cavaliers an instant favourite in the Eastern Conference and turning Andrew Wiggins into something of an anomaly. Jacob deGrom Jersey .Y., Kevin Shattenkirk watched Rangers defenceman Brian Leetch score many big goals.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Von Millers six-game suspension could end up costing him more than $2 million. Hell lose about $800,000 in salary and approximately $1.2 million more in the prorated portion of his signing bonus that hell have to forfeit for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy, according to the leagues collective bargaining agreement. However, that second figure could change based on provisions of a confidential settlement Millers defence team reached with the NFL last month when Denvers All-Pro linebacker was suspended for the first six games without pay. Both NFL spokesman Michael Signora and Millers agent, Joby Branion, said they couldnt discuss Millers case. "Theres a confidential settlement agreement that Von intends to abide by and Im sure the league intends to abide by," Branion told The Associated Press. "We cant discuss any terms of that agreement other than the obvious, which is the six-game suspension." The leagues collective bargaining agreement states that players suspended for drug or steroid violations "shall be required to forfeit any Forfeitable Salary Allocations on a proportionate weekly basis." Although the CBA states that player contracts "may not contain individually negotiated provisions for forfeiture relating to violations of the Policy on Anabollic Steroids and Related Substances or the NFL Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse, or for failing any drug test," it does not explicitly bar negotiated settlements after the fact. Bo Jackson Royals Jersey. Millers four-year, $21 million contract that he signed as the second overall pick of the 2011 draft included a $13.77 million signing bonus. ESPN reported the Broncos will recoup six weeks of prorated signing bonus money by withholding it from his paychecks once hes reinstated next month. The network also reported that Miller met with players union lawyers in Washington, D.C., on Friday to go over terms of his settlement with the league and that Millers defence team argues the return of bonus money isnt included in that settlement. Miller isnt allowed to speak with the media at the teams headquarters during his suspension, and he has politely declined all interview requests since the ban was handed down last month. Hes permitted to attend team meetings and weightlifting sessions during his suspension and he was in the locker room talking with teammates during the media access period Monday. The NFLs Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011, Miller had 30 sacks in his first two NFL seasons, including a franchise record 18 1/2 last year. His return is slated for Oct. 20, when the Broncos play at Indianapolis.
