The 2020 NBA Draft will likely not take place until the season ends, an NBA source told Field Level Media on Thursday.
One day before the WNBA conducts its draft virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NBA has no certain plans for when the league will conduct a draft of its own. The NBA draft is currently scheduled for June 25.
“No decisions have been made yet,” the source said. “You can likely expect that the draft wouldn’t be held until after the season concludes.”
The 2020 NBA Draft was scheduled to be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the draft lottery scheduled for May 2020. No plans are set for altering the draft lottery or when and how that process could be conducted should the regular season not resume.
