Prior to its night one coverage, ESPN will broadcast NBA Today from Barclays from 3-4 pm and NBA Today: Draft Red Carpet Special Presented by ESPN BET Sportsbook from 5-6 p.m., both hosted by Christine Williamson. ESPN will also air its NBA Draft Special Presented by ESPN Bet Sportsbook on Tuesday, June 24, from 7-8 p.m.
