Add another big name to the list of players reported to be attending next month's USA Basketball minicamp.

Kawhi Leonard of the San Antonio Spurs will participate in the Las Vegas event from Aug. 11 to 13, San Antonio Express-News' Mike Monroe reports.

It's noteworthy for the forward because he skipped the camp the past two years due to injury and rest. The reigning NBA's Defensive Player of the Year will be a prominent name in the mix to make next summer's Olympic squad.

Earlier Sunday, four Golden State Warriors players and Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin were reported to be headed to the camp.

Others planning to attend include Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards, Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies, Gordon Hayward of the Utah Jazz, and Mason Plumlee of the Portland Trail Blazers, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
