The NBA draft is moving to a two-day format for the first time.
The league on Wednesday announced the change, which had been in the works for several months. Round 1 of the draft this year will be on Wednesday, June 26, at Barclays Center in New York. Round 2 will follow on June 27 at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in New York.
Last year’s draft — with Victor Wembanyama going No. 1 overall to the San Antonio Spurs — lasted nearly five hours and ended around 12:45 a.
