Initial participants for OKC charity game released

Joining Kevin Durant in Oklahoma City’s charity game that will take place Oct. 23 at the Cox Convention Center is a pretty solid list of NBA stars.

So far, the game will feature Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire, John Wall, Rudy Gay and former Thunderer Jeff Green, which will be very cool.

A few more players will be added to fill out the rosters over the next week.

Tickets, starting at $29, go on sale Monday, Oct. 17, at noon and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com,coxconventioncenter.com, the Cox Center Box Office, participating Homeland stores or by calling 1-800-745-3000.  A portion of ticket proceeds and auctioned jersey sales will benefit non-profit groups that will be selected by Durant and Griffin.
