NBA Draft 2026 second round: Live updates and discussion thread

NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - JUNE 23: The 2026 NBA Draft completed its first round and BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, Duke forward Cameron Boozer, and North Carolina Tar Heels forward Caleb Wilson were viewed as the top four players in the 2026 NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City, U.S., on June 23, 2026.

It’s time for night two of the 2026 NBA Draft.

After 30 first-rounders were selected on Tuesday night, another 30 players will hear their names called in Wednesday’s second round.

As of the time of publishing, the Philadelphia 76ers do not have a pick in the second round. The franchise made their lone pick last night, selecting Labaron Philon Jr. at No. 22 overall. The guard was the first pick made by new Sixers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey. Gansey, speaking to reporters after the first round concluded last night, spoke on the possibility of the Sixers trading into Wednesday’s second round.

Whether something actually comes of that or not, we’ll just have to wait and see. There were already a number of second round picks traded around the league last night, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see more movement tonight.

The second round begins at 8 p.m. ET! Just as we did throughout the first round, we will keep you posted on all of the picks live as they happen, right here on this page. Follow along and discuss in the comments below!
