NBA draft prospects Caleb Love and KJ Lewis, who played at Arizona, were invited to the NBA’s G League Elite Camp according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony. However, Givony reported Monday that Lewis declined his invite, which could point at a possible return to school.
Both players declared for the 2024 NBA Draft while maintaining eligibility to potentially go back to Arizona.
The G League Elite Camp will host athletes to participate separately in five-on-five games and strength and agility drills. The camp will take place from May 11-12 in Chicago.
Although the two Wildcats were not invited to the NBA Draft Combine, Love will have the chance to work out in front of scouts, coaches and front-office executives at the camp.
Out of the 44 invited players, at least six will move on to the NBA Draft Combine, according to Givony.
