SAO PAULO (FIBA Americas Championship) - Murilo Becker can't help Brazil this summer when they play at the FIBA Americas Championship in Argentina but he'll be with them in spirit when they try to qualify for the Olympics.

Murilo, who is recovering from a groin operation and won't be able to start playing again until late in Brazil's preparations, said: "We're all friends. I feel compelled to share my positive energy and wish them luck.
"I have great confidence in this group. They know they can make history."
Brazil are hoping to reach the Final in Argentina in order to qualify for the London Games.
As for his groin, Murilo said: "It was a complicated injury and surgery is always delicate, but I'm dedicated to the treatment and physiotherapy.
