SALT LAKE CITY — The NBA announced on Friday the indefinite postponement of the draft lottery and draft combine.
Both events were set to be held in Chicago, with the draft lottery on May 19 and the combine running from May 21-24. The league did not give any estimate on when the events will be rescheduled. As the safety and health of all the athletes and involved personnel will take first priority, it could be a while before the NBA makes any final decisions.
“More information on each event 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 league said in a written statement.
