Philadelphia 76ers suffer from NBA timetable change on draft age rule

Currently the NBA and the NBPA (Nation Basketball Players Association) have come to an impasse in regards to getting rid of the one-and-done rule and allowing 18-year-olds that graduated high school to enter the NBA. Even if the NBA and the NBPA do work pass the issues that they are currently facing, the NBA is making sure the implication of this rule change won’t give the Philadelphia 76ers any additional advantages in the 2021 NBA Draft.

The two issues that are delaying the negotiation of this rule change is the right for teams to have full access to high school players medical records and the mandatory attendance to the NBA Draft Combine.
