The 2024 NBA Draft is still over one month away, but some of the biggest pre-draft events get underway soon.

This year's NBA draft combine and NBA draft lottery both take place next week, with the combine kicking off the same day as the lottery and continuing through the next several days.

The NBA invited 78 players to the combine so far. Extra invites are available for standouts from the G League Elite Camp on Friday and Saturday, so more players may join the combine field.

The draft lottery will feature the 14 teams that missed the playoffs, giving each one a chance to secure a top four overall pick in June's NBA draft.

Here's everything to know about the 2024 NBA draft combine and NBA draft lottery.
