The Memphis Grizzlies will host a free watch party for the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23.
Doors will open at FedExForum at 6 p.m., and the draft will start at 7 p.m. The Grizzlies have the No. 3 and No. 16 picks in the first round of the draft. Memphis also has the No. 32 pick in the draft's second round that will take place on June 24.
The event will include live performances, giveaways and more.
There's still plenty of speculation about the top of the draft. The Grizzlies hold the No. 3 pick and have been linked with Duke forward Cam Boozer as well as Kansas guard Darryn Peterson. Both players could be gone by the time the Grizzlies pick, while most mock drafts have BYU forward AJ Dybantsa going to the Washington Wizards with the No. 1 pick.
The Grizzlies have not picked in the top three since 2019, when they chose Ja Morant with the No. 2 pick.
And while Memphis also has the No. 16 pick, that doesn't necessarily mean the Grizzlies will actually pick there. General manager Zach Kleiman hasn't been afraid to move around in the draft, and he traded up for Cedric Coward in last year's draft. The Grizzlies could move up or down from No. 16 depending on who's available at the time.
