On May 1, the NBA announced that both the 2020 NBA Draft Lottery and the 2020 NBA Draft Combine would be postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, many assumed that the 2020 NBA Draft, originally scheduled for June 25, would be next in terms of events to formally postpone and, in the days since, it has been an open secret in basketball circles that the draft would not take place in its original position on the calendar. From there, the league elected to proceed with a 22-team plan to restart activity in Orlando and, while the Atlanta Hawks are not going to be in action, the franchise will be keeping a close eye on the off-season calendar.
