Report: NBA sets 2020 draft for October

The NBA has reportedly set a date for its 2020 draft.

The league will hold the two-round draft on Oct. 15, according to ESPN NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski. The draft was originally set for June 25, but was postponed, along with the draft lottery and combine, due to concerns regarding the spread of covid-19.

Wojnarowski reported the draft lottery will be held on Aug. 25.

The reported draft date provides a bit of clarity as to when underclassmen must withdraw from the draft to maintain college eligibility. The NCAA’s original deadline was June 3, but the NCAA pushed it back to an undetermined date.
