The 2024 NBA draft is an important event for players looking to take the next step by fulfilling their dream of playing in the NBA. However, some players declare for the draft to experience the process, while others decide to return to college for another year. For such players, there is a deadline for withdrawing from the NBA draft.
The first round of the 2024 NBA is set to happen on June 26 at Barclays Center. However, the day to withdraw from the draft has been set as 10 days after the conclusion of the NBA draft combine, i.e., Wednesday (May 29).
For the early entrants, the date is June 16. This means that an early entrant can withdraw from the draft until this day while still retaining his future draft eligibility. However, doing the same would result in forfeiting their amateur status, which won't let them return to their NCAA team.
