Team USA: CP3, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin to play in Las Vegas minicamp
The Big 3 of the Los Angeles Clippers are part of the 34-man roster for Team USA's minicamp in Las Vegas on Aug. 11-13.
Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin will join LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant and more as a tune-up for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil.
Paul won gold in Beijing (2008) and London (2012).
The roster of attendees boasts nine Olympic gold medalists, including eight players from the 2012 Olympic team.
"With this being a summer where we do not have an official competition that we need to prepare for, this year's minicamp is an opportunity to continue and expand the brotherhood and camaraderie that has been built," said Jerry Colangelo, who has served as managing director of the USA National Team since 2005, in a release on Thursday. "It will be a celebration of all that we've accomplished with USA Basketball since the National Team program was formed in 2006 while also looking ahead to 2016. The minicamp is going to be low key with light workouts, no contact, and the USA Basketball Showcase on Aug. 13 will be a fun all-star type game."
