Team USA is looking to continue its dominance on the world stage as several potential stars are expected to join the international powerhouse for training camp in preparation for the FIBA World Cup in China beginning Aug. 31, including the Portland Trail Blazers' duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love, and Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

In addition to the list of NBA stars, Team USA has invited Duke sensation and likely No. 1 pick Zion Williamson to join the 10-man select team that will play against the training camp roster, according to The New York Times' Marc Stein. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo told Stein that Williamson will still have an opportunity to make the final 12-player roster.

The list of players comes days after the reported commitment of Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker to Team USA, as well as indications of interest from perennial All-Star Anthony Davis.

Here's the list of reported training camp players thus far:

Jayson Tatum F Boston Celtics

*Tucker informed ESPN's Tim MacMahon that he'll participate in training camp.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has already been tabbed as the leading man for the team.

Training camp is set to begin Aug. 5 in Las Vegas and will shift to Los Angeles on Aug. 13.
