The minicamp will be held July 25-27 in Las Vegas, and it will be the first USA Basketball event with Gregg Popovich as the head coach. Popovich took over for Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who coached Team USA to a gold medal win in 3 successive Olympics tournaments.

James was one of 35 names selected to the group of players able to participate in the USA Basketball camp. The list was released in April. The last time he made it to a major Team USA tournament, however, was the London Olympics in 2012.

After the camp, USA Basketball will select 12 players to compete in the 2019 World Cup and the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
