The NBA playoffs have tipped off, but some teams have turned their attention to ping-pong balls instead.
The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery has fallen into place. Fourteen teams have been eliminated from postseason contention after the Play-In Tournament concluded on Friday.
The Detroit Pistons (14-68), Washington Wizards (15-67), Portland Trail Blazers (21-61), Charlotte Hornets (21-61) and San Antonio Spurs (22-60) finished with the worst records in the NBA this season. The Toronto Raptors (25-57), Memphis Grizzlies (27-55), Utah Jazz (31-51), Brooklyn Nets (32-50) and Houston Rockets (41-41) also failed to reach the play-in. The Atlanta Hawks (36-46), Golden State Warriors (46-36), Chicago Bulls (39-43) and Sacramento Kings (46-36) were all eliminated from the Play-In Tournament.

The Spurs hit the jackpot in the lottery last season, earning them a chance to select Victor Wembanyama. While there is no prospect of Wembanyama's caliber in this year's class, winning the lottery will give one team its pick of the litter among the 2024 draft prospects.
