Harrison Barnes has made the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team, according to Yahoo, which means that there appears to be one roster spot left to fill.

Barnes, a Golden State Warriors forward, saw his Olympic bid boosted after fellow forward LeBron James said on Thursday that he would skip the Olympics.

Barnes, who has never made an All-Star team, averaged a career-high 11.7 points per game this season.

Barnes is the third Warriors player widely reported to be on the Olympic team, joining guard Klay Thompson and forward Draymond Green.

The 12-man roster has not been announced by USA Basketball.

The one remaining spot is expected to be Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving‘s if he wants it. Irving has not yet committed to the Olympics after helping Cleveland to an NBA title on Sunday.

The Olympic team so far, according to The Associated Press and Yahoo:

Jimmy Butler -- Guard
DeMar DeRozan -- Guard
Kyle Lowry -- Guard
Klay Thompson -- Guard
Carmelo Anthony -- Forward
Harrison Barnes -- Forward
Kevin Durant -- Forward
Paul George -- Forward
Draymond Green -- Forward
DeMarcus Cousins -- Center
DeAndre Jordan -- Center
