The NBA held random drawings Monday to break six ties among teams with identical records, finalizing the post-lottery order for the 2026 NBA Draft.
One drawing was for a three-way tie at 45-37. The Phoenix Suns won the rights to the 16th pick, the Philadelphia 76ers won the second leg of that drawing to pick 17th and the Orlando Magic settled for the 18th choice.
