Timeline for 2021 NBA Draft set


The path for the 2021 edition of the NBA Draft presented by State Farm is now set.

The league announced that the draft will take place on July 29, starting a 8pm ET (July 30 in Manila). For those based in the United States, the first round will be broadcast nationally on ABC, with ESPN airing both rounds.

Aside from this, the league also provided additional details on a couple of major events on the road to the NBA Draft:

The 2021 edition of the Microsoft Surface NBA Draft Combine is tentatively scheduled for June 21-27, health protocols permitting (June 22-28 in Manila). There are plans of televising the Draft Combine through the ESPN family of networks in the United States, which likely includes the five-on-five scrimmages and the strength and agility testing.

The much-anticipated 2021 edition of the NBA Draft Lottery presented by State Farm is on June 22 at 830pm (June 23 in Manila) on ESPN in the US.

The NBA also revealed its deadlines for early entry applications and withdrawals, with interested early entrants having until 1159pm on May 30 to apply (May 31 in Manila). For those early entry applicants opting out of the 2021 NBA Draft, they can do so until July 19 at 5pm (July 20 in Manila).

The league will reveal additional details for the Combine, Lottery, and Draft on a future date.
