The NBA has issued its first set of green room invitations for the 2026 NBA Draft, with 14 prospects receiving invitations to attend the event in person.
The initial group includes Darius Acuff Jr., Nate Ament, Christian Anderson Jr., Cameron Boozer, Mikel Brown Jr., Brayden Burries, A.J. Dybantsa, Kingston Flemings, Karim Lopez, Aday Mara, Darryn Peterson, Labaron Philon Jr., Keaton Wagler, and Caleb Wilson.
The list largely aligns with expectations and is considered only the first stage of the invitation process.
Additional prospects are expected to be added in the coming weeks as the league continues gathering feedback from teams regarding projected first-round selections.
The NBA typically works with franchises to identify the 20 to 25 players most likely to hear their names called in the first round before finalizing the green room group.
The first round of the 2026 NBA Draft is scheduled for June 23, with the second round taking place the following day on June 24.
