Report: NBA to allow in-person prospect meetings

With the 2019-20 NBA season in the books, the basketball world can shift its attention to next month's entry draft, which has been rescheduled to Nov. 18 from its usual place in late June.

Between Oct. 16 and Nov. 16, teams will be able to hold in-person medical evaluations and workouts with 2020 prospects, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.

Teams will reportedly be allowed to hold up to 10 total meetings, with no more than two per player.

Up to three team staff members and three associates of the prospect - in addition to the prospect himself - can attend the meetings, and each attendee must produce a negative test for the coronavirus within 72 hours before the meeting, according to Charania.

The top pick in the 2020 draft is expected to come down to one of three players: Georgia shooting guard Anthony Edwards, Memphis center James Wiseman, or LaMelo Ball of Australia's Illawarra Hawks. The Minnesota Timberwolves possess the top pick, followed by the Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets.
