George, Irving, Love and Durant are recovering from injuries and not
expected to participate in non-contract practices next month.
USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo and coach Mike
Krzyzewski face the daunting task of whittling the roster to 12
players by next year for the Games in Rio de Janeiro.
"It's going to be a very difficult team to pick and get down to 12,"
Colangelo told ESPN.com. "So we need to have them there because we
need to find out where we are with everyone."
