Calls, exchanges, analysis and reactions: everything there is to know about the draft, including Nico Mannion’s new team
It is time to choose. The NBA celebrates draft night, the night when young talents enter the professional world. This time it is virtual, the fault of the pandemic.

The deal that was supposed to send the Serb to Milwaukee in exchange for Donte DiVincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova and DJ Wilson fell through because Bogdanovic prefers to test the market. He’s a restricted free agent, so Sacramento can keep him by matching any offer. And just in case he tries to relaunch the Milwaukee deal. For now though, I jumped
