    Washington Wizards fans had to be worried when one of the teams' offseason upgrades and only representative at the FIBA World Championship, China's Yi Jianlian(notes), went down with an inflamed Achilles' tendon that kept him out of the game against Turkey.

    The Washington Post is reporting that Jianlian's tendon is feeling better and he'll be a game-time decision when his team faces Lithuania on Tuesday in the knockout round.

    A source told the Post that the injury isn't serious and that it would heal with rest following the conclusion of this tournament.

    The 7-foot forward averaged 12 points and 7.2 rebounds per game for the dismal New Jersey Nets last season.
