Team USA has reportedly added another big man in the middle for the Rio Olympics this summer.
Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan nabbed a spot on the roster, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein and Jeff Goodman.
Jordan joins a team that reportedly already secured commitments from Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, and DeMarcus Cousins.
With Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving also expected to accept invitations, that presumably leaves just two remaining roster spots.
Jordan's Clippers teammates, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, withdrew from Olympic consideration due to injuries.
