John Wall is currently at Team USA's minicamp in Las Vegas, a three-day victory lap for USA Basketball, with 34 of the country's best and brightest in attendance.

But instead of participating in Wednesday's practice, the Washington Wizards point guard was on the sideline.

Thank goodness this (reportedly) isn't related to the wrist injury Wall suffered in last year's postseason. But it's perfectly understandable for Washington to show a little worry. Wall is the face of that franchise, and one of the sport's brightest stars.

And while he isn't projected to make Team USA's final 12 (outlasting Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving is tough), it's still good to see Wall in attendance. Hopefully he's back on the court in time for Thursday's scrimmage.
