As USA Basketball aims to prepare ahead of the 2016 Rio Olympics, an array of NBA stars are reportedly interested in attending the Las Vegas minicamp, which will take place next month, to secure a spot in the roster competing at the Olympics.

USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told ESPN last month that it is mandatory for players wanting a spot on the roster to attend the minicamp.

The New York Post reported last week that New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony plans to pay the minicamp a visit.

Anthony is coming off a knee surgery last February and is given six months before participating in any basketball-related activity.

Other injured NBA stars who are looking to be present at the minicamp while recovering are Oklahoma City Thunder forward and 2014 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Kevin Durant (foot), Indiana Pacers forward Paul George (leg), Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (shoulder), and Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons (knee).

George was part of last year's roster and was reportedly going to make the cut for the FIBA World Cup but suffered a horrible leg injury during a scrimmage that sidelined him for almost the entire 2014-15 NBA season.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin and Houston Rockets guard James Harden are also set to participate in the minicamp, ESPN reported.

ESPN added that 2015 MVP Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes who are all from the defending champions the Golden State Warriors are expected to be in the camp.

Big men Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons) and Mason Plumlee (Portland Trail Blazers) who represented the U.S. in the 2014 FIBA World Cup are also confirmed attendees, according to a source by ESPN.

Colangelo shared with ESPN that the minicamp will have two days of non-contact workouts and an All-Star game featuring players healthy enough to participate on Aug. 13.
