The NBA has officially invited Tennessee wing Julian Phillips to the 2023 NBA Combine. The announcement was made late last night, as the league gears up for the event to begin on Monday in Chicago.
Despite declaring for the NBA Draft, Josiah-Jordan James, Uros Plavsic and Olivier Nkamhoua did not receive combine invites. In total, only 78 prospects will attend the event.
James and Nkamhoua received invites to the NBA’s G League Elite Camp. Following the departure of B.J. Edwards to the transfer portal last week, Tennessee’s current roster sits with 13 scholarship players — assuming none of the four mentioned above return.
