The 2023 NBA Draft takes place on June 22 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and it promises to be a franchise-altering night. Victor Wembanyama, the most hyped prospect since LeBron James, will find his first NBA home. This year's class is loaded with talent, and multiple stars will enter the league.

Dallas Mavericks fans will be anxiously awaiting the lottery on May 16 to see if they can keep their first-round pick. They traded it with a top-ten protection to the New York Knicks in 2019 for Kristaps Porzingis. Dallas finished with the tenth-worst record, and they have a 79.8 percent chance to keep the selection, but crazier things have happened in the lottery. The Mavs need the pick to improve their roster this offseason, so there will be plenty of nervous moments as they await the results of the ping-pong balls.

Where can fans go to watch the NBA Draft in person? There has been no formal announcement beyond 2023, but the event appears to have a permanent home.

Where will the NBA Draft be in 2024, 2025, and beyond?

The draft has been at the Barclays Center since it opened in 2013, and this will be the 10th event at the home of the Brooklyn Nets. The 2020 NBA Draft was held remotely because of the pandemic, but the location does not appear to be changing anytime soon.

The draft was held in Newark, New Jersey in 2011 and 2012, and Madison Square Garden hosted the draft from 2001 to 2010. The draft has been in the New York area where the NBA’s headquarters are located for more than two decades, and fans should expect it to remain at Barclays Center in Brooklyn moving forward.

The 2023 NBA Draft starts at 7:00 p.m. CT or 8:00 p.m. ET on June 22 at the home of the Brooklyn Nets. It will be a massive night for the Dallas Mavericks and the 29 other franchises in the NBA.
