The NCAA has announced the early-entry withdrawal deadline for underclassmen that entered the NBA Draft and wish to retain their collegiate eligibility.

Student-athletes who wish to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to school will have until 10 days after the Draft Combine or Aug. 3, whichever comes first. The NCAA announced last month that the deadline would be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The NBA announced earlier this month that the Draft Lottery would take place on Aug. 25 while the Draft is tentatively set for Oct. 15. The league did not make an official determination on the Draft Combine but it is said to be considering hosting a scouting event in Orlando in August.

With the regular season restarting on July 30 at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida, the NBA was able to set dates for events surrounding the Draft. The league had previously focused on finalizing plans for a season restart before making a decision on the Draft itself.
