www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on the NBA Draft Lottery date.
- The NBA Draft Lottery determines the order for the first 14 picks of the draft and is traditionally held in May, with the 14 teams participating based on their regular-season results. The event is broadcast on major networks (historically ESPN in the U.S.) and precedes the NBA Draft in late June.[1][3][7]
Key points to expect this year
- Date: The lottery is typically scheduled for May, with the exact date announced by the league closer to the event. In recent editions, the date has fallen in mid-May.[7][1]
- Time and broadcast: The lottery results are announced live on a national broadcast, often in the early evening U.S. time, with coverage on ESPN or ABC depending on year.[3][1]
- Format: 14 teams participate for the chance at the No. 1 pick; the top four picks are determined by the drawing, with the remaining picks assigned in inverse order of the teams’ regular-season records.[1][7]
