The 2023 NBA draft lottery will take place on Tuesday, May 16. The results will be broadcast live on ESPN, starting at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The 2023 draft will be the 38th annual lottery, which helps determine the order that teams will select in this summerโ€™s upcoming NBA Draft.

Unlike professional football, which awards the best picks to the worst teams in a straightforward and linear fashion, the NBA gives all 14 non-playoff teams a theoretical chance at landing the draftโ€™s top talent.

Where is the NBA Draft Lottery Held?

The 2023 NBA draft lottery will take place in Chicago, just like last year.
