Hello, NBA fans. Welcome to The Athletic’s coverage of the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery!

After a regular season in which several teams came under scrutiny for tanking, prompting massive proposed rule changes from the NBA league office, this may be the last year the league functions under the “traditional” lottery system that we have come to know.

If that’s the case, the current lottery format could go out with a bang today as a talent-rich draft class awaits, including BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, Duke’s Cameron Boozer, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and North Carolina’s Caleb Wilson, all offering superstar potential at the top of the draft.

Follow along as we build up to today’s draft lottery with all you need to know about the teams and players involved!
