The Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City are the first three teams to be granted recruiting meetings with Kevin Durant when free agency begins at midnight EST on July 1st.

The list of teams that get to meet with Durant directly will grow as free agency approaches.

Contingents from the Warriors and Spurs are planning to fly to an undisclosed location once free agency starts to meet with Durant. Agent Rich Kleiman and selected family members and friends will be included in the meetings.

Durant will be a free agent for the first time in his career.

The Thunder have been considered the favorites to re-sign Durant on a one-plus-one contract.

After missing large portions of the 14-15 season with multiple foot surgeries, Durant returned to form in 15-16 and led the Thunder to within one win from their first Finals appearance since 2012.

The Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers also hope to meet with Durant.
