NBA Plans to Extend 2024 Draft to Two-Day Event

Change aims to alleviate rush of second-round selections, pending approval from NBA Players Association.

The NBA is finalizing plans to extend the 2024 draft to a two-day event, with the first round taking place on June 26 and the second round on June 27.
The decision is pending approval from the NBA Players Association.
The proposed change aims to alleviate the rush teams face when making second-round selections, which currently only have two minutes between each pick.
Teams believe the new format will allow second round picks to maximize their draft moment and provide more time for trades and strategy planning.
Despite some NBA executives preferring the historical one-day format, the NBA appears to be moving in this direction.
