LAS VEGAS -- On their one and only day of mini-camp, Team USA was not whole.

Dwight Howard was forced to sit out practice Saturday due to a stress fracture of his sternum, an injury he sustained during the Orlando Magic's second round playoff loss to the Detroit Pistons.

"It's a six to eight week recovery time, and this is the sixth week," said Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski, who expects Howard to be fully healed by the time the team reconvenes for training camp July 21.

Someone please give Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett the fountain of youth...we're going to need some big men if Howard can't play.

It shouldnt be a factor in how he plays at all. I think he'll definetly be at 100% at the start of training camp
