The News & Observer confirmed players like Kenny Dennard, Gene Banks, Christian Laettner, Grant Hill, Shelden Williams, Andre Dawkins and JJ Redick will be in attendance. Additionally, recent players who are currently playing in the NBA, such as Grayson Allen, will take a pitstop during their season to Durham for the game.

ESPN analyst and former Duke player Jay Bilas will also be in attendance, but he will be calling the game for ESPN, which will have nearly 100 employees working at the game.
