The NBA is launching its draft combine this week

In a pre-coronavirus world, the NBA would have been starting training camp for the 2020-21 regular season around this time. The Washington Wizards would have media day at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Congress Heights, the team will train and preseason games would begin very soon after that.

But the coronavirus pandemic caused a four month stoppage in play during the 2019-20 NBA season. The NBA Finals will start on Wednesday between the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. And the Draft has been delayed to Nov. 18 to give teams time to evaluate prospects.
