The path to ending the “one-and-done” rule doesn’t appear to be on the horizon.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, in the NBA and National Basketball Players Association’s (NBPA) pursuit of signing a new collective bargaining agreement by the end of Friday, any potential deal would not include the minimum age requirement for the draft being lowered. Currently, potential draft prospects must be at least 19 years old and one full year removed from high school before entering the NBA Draft. Ending the rule would allow high school seniors to jump straight to the NBA without a gap year in between.
