With the regular season done and dusted, fans of non-playoff teams officially have a day to look forward to.
The 2026 NBA Draft will take place on June 23 and 24 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., the league announced Tuesday.
This will mark the third time that the NBA Draft is held over two days.
While the order of the draft is not yet set, the lottery will be held on May 10.
The Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets have the best odds at landing the first pick, with each side standing at 14 per cent. They all have a 52.1 per cent chance at a top-four selection.
The 2026 class is considered by many to be a special one, headlined by college standouts Cam Boozer (Duke), AJ Dybantsa (BYU) and Darryn Peterson (Kansas).
Last season, the Dallas Mavericks won the lottery with only a 1.8 per cent chance and selected Duke standout Cooper Flagg with the top pick.
