NCAA sets new NBA Draft withdrawal deadline

With news of the NBA’s return, we also now know when college players must make a final decision on whether to return to school or remain in the 2020 NBA Draft.

The NCAA has announced that men’s basketball student-athletes will have until 10 days after the NBA Draft Combine or Aug. 3, whichever comes first, to withdraw from the draft and retain their eligibility.

However, there is still no date set for the NBA Draft Combine. That could prove troublesome for prospects hoping to go through the combine before making their draft decision.
