Harden, Parsons teammates again -- at least briefly at Team USA training

Of the 19 other players that make up the USA basketball training camp roster, Rockets guard James Harden has been NBA teammates with two of them, Kevin Durant with Oklahoma City and Chandler Parsons with Houston. Harden will be teammates with both on Friday for the USA basketball showcase. The group of 20 players in Las Vegas for training camp was split into two teams of 10 players for a Blue-White intrasquad game.

Harden's White team will be coached by team USA assistant coach and Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau and will also feature the player that knocked Harden and Parsons out of the playoffs last season with a series-clinching 3-pointer in Game six, Damian Lillard. The White team also includes Bradley Beal (Wizards), DeMarcus Cousins (Kings), Andre Drummond (Pistons), Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers), Paul Millsap (Hawks) and Klay Thompson (Warriors).
