What happened: BYU forward AJ Dybantsa says he did not work out for any team ahead of Tuesday's 2026 NBA Draft, telling reporters he only visited cities, toured facilities and met with front offices. "I don't have to work out. They know what I can do," he said. The Washington Wizards hold the No. 1 pick, with the Utah Jazz picking second.

Why it matters: Dybantsa has long been projected to go first, but reporting suggests Washington has taken repeated long looks at Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, leaving the top selection less than settled. Dybantsa has said publicly he sees himself fitting with the Wizards and intends to help push the franchise back toward the playoffs, raising the stakes on whether Washington commits to him or pivots.

What to watch: Watch whether the Wizards lock in Dybantsa or take Peterson when Adam Silver opens the draft Tuesday, and where Utah turns at No. 2 if the board shifts.
