Lottery Reform
The NBA board of governors voted Thursday to flatten draft lottery odds starting with the 2027 draft. The changes include a 3-2-1 system using 37 balls for 16 teams and will expire after three years. League officials are already eyeing a possible draft credit system to replace the lottery entirely by 2030.
