After finishing with the fifth-worst record in the league, the focus shifts to the draft lottery on Monday night. The Sixers have a top 6 protected pick which means they have to land somewhere in the top 6 to keep their pick or else it goes to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of the Al Horford trade from 2020.

In order to keep their first-round pick in the 2025 NBA draft, the Sixers need it to fall in the top six selections.

Temple alum and SportsCenter host Kevin Negandhi will host the draft lottery for ESPN, his first time on the desk for the event. Kendrick Perkins, Bob Myers, and Jay Bilas will serve as analysts, alongside Shams Charania.
