Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson is out of Rio Olympics contention after dislocating his elbow during Great Britain sevens squad training.Although Simpson is expected to be available for the start of Wasps Aviva Premiership campaign in early September, his Rio hopes are over. Simpson had been included among an extended Great Britain training squad, from which sevens head coach Simon Amor will select his final 12-man group later this month.Amor, who confirmed the news about Simpson, said: It is really disappointing for Joe.In the time hes been with us, he has shown exciting potential, and it is a shame he is unable to continue towards the Olympics because of this unfortunate injury. We all wish him well.Simpson will now return to his club, and Wasps rugby director Dai Young said: We are obviously all really gutted for Joe that injury has put a stop to his chances of representing Great Britain at the Olympic Games.The feedback we have had from Simon Amor and the rest of the GB set-up was that Joe was progressing well and pushing hard for a place in the squad, and its desperately unfortunate that he has picked up an injury that will now rule him out. On the flip side of that, were all looking forward to having Joe return to Wasps.He is an influential character in this squad and hell now be getting his head down to prepare himself for the start of the new season.Great Britain will continue their Rio build-up by fielding two teams in the Sevens and the City tournament at Saracens Allianz Park ground this weekend. They also have two Rugby Europe Grand Prix sevens events scheduled later this month before Amor settles on his final squad.Amor said: Training has been at an incredibly high standard. The attitude of the guys, and how they have challenged each other, has been excellent.Lots of learning has taken place, and with such strong competition, the guys are fighting for places daily. The main objective of the past three weeks was to put into place how we want to play the game in terms of attack and defence, and there is a really good understanding of that now.Great Britain have been drawn in the same Rio pool as New Zealand, Kenya and Japan. The mens tournament begins on August 9.It is an incredibly exciting pool, Amor added. We all know New Zealand are an outstanding side, Kenya showed what they are capable of in winning the Singapore Sevens this season, and Japan have shown their potential.It wouldnt matter which pool you were drawn in at the Olympics, they will all be a challenge. It is going to be an amazing experience.Custom Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys .

The halo surrounding Steve Ballmers acquisition in 2014 seems to have worn off. After the Clippers enjoyed an all-time high ranking last year (No. 42), L.A. has slid in almost every category, as an ill-conceived branding update foreshadowed a season of injury, disappointment and yet another early playoff exit.Whats goodAt least in terms of ownership and coaching, the Clippers rank above average in the NBA with Steve Ballmer (49th overall and 10th in the NBA) and Doc Rivers (44th overall and 13th in the NBA). L.A. still boasts two top-10 players in Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. That duo is backed up by a newly gold medal-minted DeAndre Jordan, JJ Redick coming off a career season and the deepest bench in the Doc Rivers era. With all that in mind, might L.A. finally be poised to crash through the second-round glass ceiling? The buttressing of new hires in the Clippers front office suggests a renewed focus to the long view as well.Whats badThe Clippers fell in several on-court categories this year: title track at 98 (down 26 spots), ownership down 30, coaching down 16. But the biggger concern is a dip in players from 38th to 66th overall and just 17th among NBA rosters.dddddddddddd Although the talent is there, clearly fans are concerned that the core is aging, and Paul and Griffin both have the option to enter free agency after the season, which adds uncertainty to the future of the Clippers as currently constructed. If L.A. doesnt perform like a title contender early in the season, management might re-evaluate whether it can afford to let the Clippers two biggest stars test the waters in nine months.Whats newThe 2015-16 season saw several new changes to L.As less storied franchise. From a new logo to the introduction of a mascot, supporters arent convinced: Fan relations has taken a hit and is down 49 spots from a year ago. Also down is stadium experience (dropped 31 spots), perhaps due to that new signage? Even Kanye West got into the mix by imploring Steve Ballmer on social media to turn brand management over to Yeezy & Co. All this along with steadily rising prices (up 4 percent this year to almost $80 a ticket) and a title path blocked by the Bay Area. If the Clippers arent careful, the once-adored Lob City might be flirting with the only thing worse than infamy: irrelevance.Next: Milwaukee Bucks?| Full rankings ' ' '
