2021 NBA draft: Live stream, how to watch, TV channel, start time, location, picks

Following months of speculation, 2021’s edition of draft night has finally arrived. On Thursday night, the Detroit Pistons will finally open the highly-anticipated draft with the first overall selection.

While Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham, USC center Evan Mobley, and G Leauge Ignite guard Jalen Green will likely headline the top of the draft, the Golden State Warriors will be involved up and down the board with a pair of lottery picks.

The Warriors are slated to make selections with the No. 7 and No. 14 picks on Thursday night, but even with just hours until the clock begins to tick, it’s still unclear what the Warriors might do. Trade both picks for a veteran player, opt for a prospect that will take time to develop, or land a plug-and-play player that can help Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green return to the postseason as soon as next season?

Before Bob Myers and Steve Kerr answer those questions with their official picks on Thursday, here is how to watch the 2021 draft and all the other details you need to know.

Here’s all the information you need to know about the draft:
