The NBA has released the list of 73 players invited to the 2026 AWS NBA Draft Combine, which is scheduled for May 10–17 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis in Chicago.
The Combine is one of the most important evaluation events on the NBA Draft calendar, bringing together many of the top prospects in the 2026 class for measurements, athletic testing, interviews, medical evaluations, drills, and other pre-draft activities.
Additional players could be added to the field after the 2026 AWS NBA G League Draft Combine, which will be held May 8–10 at Wintrust Arena. Standout performers from that event may earn invitations to participate in the NBA Draft Combine.
Under the NBA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, players invited to the Draft Combine are required to attend and participate unless excused by the league. In some cases, the NBA may require a player to complete Combine-related activities at a later date.
The full list of invited players is below.
