The 2025 NBA Draft is just over seven weeks away, meaning prospects are gearing up for what will be a competitive and thorough pre-draft process. One of the most significant pre-draft events is the NBA Draft Combine, which is set to take place May 11-18 this year in Chicago. Given that the event is just over a week away, the NBA has officially announced the 75 invitees for the combine this cycle.

The NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) states that all invited players are required to attend and participate in the NBA Draft Combine, unless the league has excused a player's absence, at which point they may be required to complete Draft Combine activities at a later date.

Joining these 75 participants will be a select number of top performers from the 2025 NBA G League Elite Camp, which will take place May 9-11. While not every player who participates in the combine will be drafted -- or even remain in the draft process long enough to have a chance to be -- this is essentially an invite list of who NBA teams want to see most, meaning it can be considered a list of the best prospects in the eyes of the league.

Here are the 75 players who have been invited to the 2025 NBA Draft Combine:

  • Izan Almansa - Perth (Australia)
