Kidd Fighting Head Cold

 
The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports "Mavericks guard Jason Kidd missed Wednesday's practice with a head cold, but despite feeling "terrible" he came to Friday morning's (Thursday night Dallas time) Team USA media availability. ‘I just came here because I didn't want this to become a big story,' he said, adding that despite fighting the cold for three days he will be fine for Sunday's opener against China. ‘The rim is still 10, the ball is still round, so I didn't have to go see another gym. And I don't shoot that much, anyway.'” (link)
