James, Irving and Love will attend USA Basketball's minicamp
Three Cleveland Cavaliers - LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving - are expected to attend USA Basketball Men's National Team's minicamp in Las Vegas from August 11-13.
James, Irving and Love join 31 other players on the minicamp roster who will begin preparing for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said that attendance at the minicamp is mandatory for anyone who wishes to play in the 2016 Olympics.

It was reported Tuesday that James would attend the minicamp, but would not participate in workouts. James will also leave early due to his Family Foundation's annual Family Reunion event.
With no official competition to prepare for until the 2016 Olympics, Colangelo said in USA Basketball's Press Release that the minicamp "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," Colangelo said.
The 2015 USA National Team minicamp will feature practices on Aug. 11-12, and the minicamp will conclude on Aug. 13 with the 2015 USA Basketball Showcase, a USA Blue vs. USA White exhibition game.
