Sources: NBA ‘progressing on plans’ for Virtual Draft Combine
The NBA is progressing on plans for a virtual draft combine to be held at regional sites throughout September, sources told ESPN.
Formal plans could be completed and shared with teams in the next week, sources said.
In what’s likely to become one of the most wide-open draft processes in years, prospective players would attend selected regional team facilities throughout the country, sources said. The plan would include team doctors administering physicals at local hospitals and league officials recording body measurables and putting players through physical testing at team facilities, sources said.
The NBA still hasn’t made a final determination on the location or format for the Oct. 16 draft event, sources said.

Jerami Grant wants to be back with the Denver Nuggets next season. Whether that happens may be up to Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly.
Grant, who is expected to opt out of his player option, according to a league source, made himself invaluable throughout the Nuggets’ postseason run. When the Nuggets traded a first-round pick last summer for Grant, they hoped he’d provide the defensive versatility that he ultimately did.
