NBA Announces 112 Withdrawals From Early Entrant List

According to the NBA, 112 players have notified the league that they wish to be removed from the list of early entrants eligible for this month’s draft, according to a press release.

The NCAA’s early entry withdrawal deadline passed this Wednesday (June 1) at 11:59 p.m. ET, so players wishing to retain their college eligibility had to remove their names from the draft pool by that point.

The league’s own withdrawal deadline is 5 p.m. ET on June 13, so more names will be added to the withdrawal list in the coming days.

You can check out our updated list of all early entrants who have withdrawn, as well as those who plan to remain in the draft, right here.

Among the players not previously reported as having withdrawn but were included in the NBA’s list include:

Michigan State’s Max Christie is among the players who recently declared for the draft, announcing his intentions in a post on Instagram. The freshman shooting guard stated that he’ll test the draft waters, maintaining his remaining college eligibility for the time being as he gets feedback on his draft stock.

A full-time starter for the Spartans in 2021/22, Christie averaged 9.3 PPG and 3.5 RPG on .382/.317/.824 shooting in 35 games (30.8 MPG). Those numbers are modest, but the 6’6″ guard has shown the potential to develop into a stronger shooter and a solid defender, per ESPN’s Mike Schmitz. Christie ranks 41st overall on ESPN’s big board.
