Although secrecy revolves around those who received invitations to the Team USA Minicamps this June in Las Vegas, it has been confirmed that Kendrick Perkins, Glen "Big Baby" Davisand Rajon Rondo have all received invitations to participate.
While the status of Big Baby Davis is unknown, Perkins and Rondo have both declined to participate in the minicamps.
The reason?
Perkins is getting married on July 25 to his long time girlfriend in Houston, Texas. Rondo is one of his groomsmen.
While Jerry Colangelo boasts 19 confirmations to attend the minicamps, he has refused to reveal the full list of invitees or confirmations.
Leaked through other sources however, current confirmations are Trailblazers' Brandon Roy, Greg Oden,and LaMarcus Aldridge, Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo, and a pair of past Rookies of the Year in Thunder's Kevin Durant and Bulls' Derrick Rose.
Larry Bird stated recently that Pacers superstar Danny Granger had accepted an invitation to the camps.
The minicamps will consist of several days of team meetings, practices and end with a Blue versus White scrimmage on the final day.
