plus, he still wouldn't be able to practice or travel with the team.
Not having a go here it's a genuine question, but in American you don't make a distinction in spelling between the verb "to practise" and the noun "I was at practice"?

general rule-any time someone says 'genuine question' it means 'this is not a genuine question your a cunt'

Those are ones that for me make it an absolute certainty that the next thing you will hear is gonna be a really offensive insult.

Not being funny mate, don't take this the wrong way, but you're an ugly, smelly, bastard faced cunt that everyone I know really hates and thinks is a massive twat and they hate to see you and they all wish you were dead and if you did die they would go to your funeral but only to throw a massive party and piss on your grave. Whenever you're not here we all talk about you behind your back and we laugh at you cos we hate you so much and your clothes are really shit and we all spit in your drinks and we put dogshit through your letterbox and started a rumour that you are a paedophile which you probably are cos you look like one, no offence like.

But in this case I just wanted to know if the verb form of practice is spelled with a c in American English, which I actually think is the case, but want confirmed.

In Australian and British English, 'practise' is the verb and 'practice' is the noun. In American English, 'practice' is both the verb and the noun

Nah that was just Luka stirring up trouble (not being funny like but at times he can be a bit of a dick).
I was just interested cos most differences seem arbitrary and neither better or worse eg colour or color, whatever. But losing the verb/noun distinction is one of the times where the structure becomes different or, to be precise, something is lost. I expect there are others... you have got and gotten but we have lost the latter - presumably we had it at some point, after all we have forgot and forgotten.
