Top pick out of camp

Blake Griffin has pulled out of USA Basketball's minicamp because of a strained right shoulder, possibly hurting the No. 1 pick's chances of playing next year in the world championships.

Griffin said Wednesday that he was unable to play because he was injured during the third of the Los Angeles Clippers' five summer league games. He will rest the shoulder three to four weeks.

McGee in, Bayless out: USA Basketball has added Washington Wizards forward/center JaVale McGee to its minicamp roster. Portland guard Jerryd Bayless withdrew because he injured his left wrist during the NBA's summer league.

The players will practice today and Friday before playing an intrasquad exhibition Saturday.
