Shams Charania: As new element to the Draft on Thursday, NBA plans to introduce the 20 green room invites on stage prior to first pick and each will walk across main stage with two family members. For projected first-rounder Aaron Holiday, brothers Jrue and Justin will walk him into NBA.
Ian Begley: The Knicks have a workout scheduled with UCLA point guard Aaron Holiday, per ESPN sources. The workout is expected to take place close to draft night, sources say. Holiday, the younger brother of Jrue and Justin Holiday, was a prolific scorer last season as a Bruin. The idea that the Knicks would like to work Holiday out close to the draft is an indication that they’d really like to get a first-hand look at him. The guard, who averaged 20.3 points and 5.8 assists last season, is currently projected as the 19th pick in ESPN’s latest mock draft. The Knicks, who have the 9th pick, have already worked out point guards Trae Young and Collin Sexton.
Vincent Goodwill: Don’t expect Justin Holiday to play tonight. Bulls will give extended look to Antonio Blakeney. Robin Lopez will start and go through first quarter
KC Johnson: This situation stems from league’s new rest rules. Dialogue between Bulls and league office cordial and cooperative throughout. Roles for Lopez, Holiday will be limited. And rest rules allow for 1 to still sit at home games, though unknown if Bulls will choose that route.
The NBA and commissioner Adam Silver formally informed team owners about resting healthy players – perhaps an effort to diminish the league-wide verbiage of “tanking” – after the league moved up the start of this season to spread games out for coaches and players. The Bulls changed course on their plans to continue sitting Lopez and Holiday in the past day, league sources said.
