The NBA announced that the Draft Combine has been reformatted to be conducted both in team markets and virtually, taking place in phases beginning Sept. 28 and continuing through November to allow teams the opportunity to evaluate prospects during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The combine will give players the opportunity to participate in league and team interviews, both conducted virtually from Sept. 28 through Oct. 16.
Players will also take part in individual strength and agility testing, anthropometric measurements, shooting drills and a “Pro Day” video.
The physical testing will be conducted in October at the NBA team facility nearest to a player’s home or interim residence. Medical testing and examinations will be performed by NBA-affiliated physicians in the same market.

The Draft Combine was initially scheduled to take place on May 21-24 in Chicago but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Teams have been prohibited from meeting with prospects in-person and viewing workout footage but they will now have the opportunity to conduct interviews face-to-face ahead of the NBA Draft on Nov. 18.
