The Boston Celtics will need their ducks in a row for the 2020 NBA Draft by at least October 25th, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The ESPN analyst reports the NBA has decided on that date to host the draft, just three days later than the latest possible date of the 2020 NBA Finals.
And of course the league will need to hold a draft lottery to have a draft, which Wojnarowski relates will be conducted on August 25th.
No word at present on whether there will be a draft combine or individual workouts in light of the ongoing pandemic.
NBA has set an August 25 Draft Lottery and October 15 Draft, sources say.

Nor any news on whether the draft lottery and/or draft will be in-person (with or without an audience) or virtual in the same vein of the WNBA and NFL earlier this year.
The issue of how the potential play-in games might affect draft odds, but with today’s critical Board of Governors’ meeting where these issues were discussed to at least some extent, details are likely soon forthcoming.
