Catchings is 80% and by the time the games roll around she should be back if not close to her old self.

I have yet to see any injury with DMJ. Parker won the National Championship on that shoulder, she's fine.

It is indeed a worry.
USA's player depth is such that they could probably field 3 teams good enough to win a gold medal, however the olympic schedule is pretty harsh.
A game every 2 days.
They should be more concerned with taking a healthy team than with sticking with their favourite players.
Changing a couple of players around is going to make an insignificant difference to the talent level of the team. Losing a couple to injury during the tournament (or having them playing at only 80%), however, has the potential to be a lot more costly IMO.

did you SEE Lawson last night?
She looked healthy and scowly..is that a word? She was hitting her shot and defending hard and hustling like always.
Kara is back to her old self and she brings a toughness and determination to the team that most player can't match.
It's a shame she wasn't born taller because she coulda been a decent player Wink
