The 2024 NBA Draft is taking place over two nights for the first time since the draft was shortened to two rounds in 1989.
The first round occurred on June 26, 2024, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The second round will take place on June 27 at ESPN’s Seaport District Studios in Manhattan.
This draft consists of 58 picks instead of the typical 60 due to the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns losing second-round picks for violating the NBA’s tampering rules during free agency.
The first overall selection was owned by the Atlanta Hawks, who used it to select French forward Zaccharie Risacher. He became the second consecutive French player to be drafted at the number one pick after the San Antonio Spurs picked Victor Wembanyama last year.
