Team USA will be holding a minicamp next week. 35 players are invited to participate but according to reports, some of them will show up for just one day and leave.

As reported by Jeff Zillgitt of USA Sports Today:

Among those invited are Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis, just to name a few. Curry will reportedly skip the minicamp, opting to spend time with his family and his newborn son, according to sources. LeBron James too will reportedly skip the camp led by San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

From 35 players, it will be trimmed down to 12 and they will represent the United States at the 2019 World Cup in China and 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

The final list of players who will actually take part in the minicamp is a matter of wait-and-see at this moment. But from reports, it seems that only a few established superstars are willing to take part.

The likes of James and Curry — two of the biggest stars today — have already accomplished much in the big league. Apart from which, they've played each other in the NBA Finals for four straight years now. It's necessary that they get some ample rest.

Instead of the big guns, fans should expect rising stars to suit up for Team USA. Several veterans, too, will most likely join the fun.
