Kevin Durant leads three Oklahoma City Thunder players on the guard-heavy list announced Wednesday. The Los Angeles Clippers' Eric Gordon, thought to be on the bubble, made the cut.
Tyson Chandler and Brook Lopez are the only true centers on the squad, which includes talented point guards such as Chauncey Billups, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook.
The Thunder's Jeff Green will also join Durant and Westbrook in New York when the team reconvenes Aug. 9.
