Follow along for live updates and results from the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery.
The 2026 NBA Draft Lottery is one of the most anticipated prospect-related events in recent memory. Results will significantly change many franchises.
This draft class is heavily loaded with potential NBA superstars such as AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson, and Caleb Wilson. Basketball fans will learn more about these players during the 2026 NBA Draft Combine, which is this week in Chicago.
A total of 73 players received invitations to participate, although Juke Harris already decided to withdraw as an early entry candidate from the pre-draft process. A select few additional players are expected to receive invitations based on performance at the G League NBA Draft Combine.
These prospects will look to separate themselves from the pack and earn a chance to hear their name in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft, held in Brooklyn at Barclays Center on June 23.
