2023 NBA draft: Date, time and broadcast info for Thursday

Full details on tonight’s NBA draft:

The 2023 NBA draft is set to take place on Thursday and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The once-a-year extravaganza will see 58 prospects get their names called throughout the night as teams infuse their rosters with young and cheap talent. The San Antonio Spurs headline this year’s class: French phenom Victor Wembanyama will go first overall.

Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder own two selections: No. 12 and No. 50. Several names have been linked to OKC’s lottery selection, so it’ll be interesting to see how the draft plays out.

The Thunder could also add extra picks via draft day trades. With the Thunder owning potentially four first-round picks in next year’s draft, they could consolidate some of those picks for this year’s draft.
