The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming to the White House.

The White House says President Barack Obama will welcome the reigning NBA champions Thursday, two days after the presidential election.

Obama extended the invitation in June, after the Cavaliers won the NBA Finals by defeating the Golden State Warriors in seven games.

In a congratulatory telephone call to Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, Obama invited the team to celebrate the championship with him at the White House before he leaves office.

The visit will come a day before the team's Nov. 11 matchup with the Washington Wizards.
