As the 2022 NBA Playoffs are set to begin the next round, the league will begin taking focus on next season as well. Shortly before the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat begin Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, a handful of teams will participate in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery.

Not too long ago, the draft lottery was must-see TV for Philadelphia 76ers fans. As the Sixers were in the midst of a multi-season tank, the lottery was one of the most important events of the year.

These days, though, the Sixers don't have much involvement. Not only are they a playoff-caliber team, but they have been considered contenders, who are buyers throughout the season rather than sellers. Therefore, they don't collect lottery selections.

But the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery is still a key event to pay attention to as it marks the true beginning of the 2022 offseason. Plan on tuning in to watch the 2022 NBA Draft order form? Here's everything you need to know!
