The NBA announced it will postpone both the NBA draft lottery and combine on Friday.
Both events were scheduled to take place in May. The league said in a statement that more information will be shared at a later date as “the NBA continues to closely monitor the coronavirus pandemic and consult with infectious disease specialists, public health experts and government officials.”
The NBA Draft itself — scheduled for June 25 — remains untouched for now, but The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor reported on Thursday that the expectation among league executives is that the draft will be moved back to August or September.
