NBA Draft Combine 2024: Full list of participants, date, time, location, new rules and more image

The 2024 NBA Draft cycle is heating up.

The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery and combine are set to take place in Chicago this week. The lottery will be on Sunday, May 12, and the combine will run from the same day through Sunday, May 19.

Things are a little different at this year's NBA Draft Combine. Per the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement, all players invited to the showcase event are required to attend and participate. Some prospects — mostly international players whose seasons are still ongoing — will be excused but have to complete the combine activities at a later date.

In the past, the projected top picks would skip the combine altogether and only participate in individual workouts and team interviews.

The NBA announced the list of 78 combine participants on May 3, headlined by USC star Bronny James and Purdue star Zach Edey. You can find the complete list of prospects invited below.
