No, there hasn’t been another nausea inspiring injury to another member of Team USA but fear not. The red white and blue has a replacement on deck just in case.

“He’s the player on deck,” we’re told. Lillard expressed to Jerry Colangelo, director of USA Basketball, his desire to be a part of Team USA in Spain and said he would rejoin the team if his services are indeed needed, the source said. […] “It’s something we did discuss with Damian,” Colangelo confirmed. “We’ll see what happens.” Team USA only kept two “true point guards” in Rose and Kyrie Irving. As of now, Colangelo expects these 12 guys to be on the final roster though he’s monitoring each player’s situation closely.
Lillard is a great representative to take over but what if they lose a big man? This smells more like an “in case Derrick Rose” happens than just any emergency.
