It sounds like the Warriors' front office is going to be very busy during the month that is typically the slowest on the NBA calendar.

The 2020 NBA Draft Lottery and 2020 NBA Draft Combine are expected to be held in August, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The lottery -- which was scheduled for May 19 -- will determine the Warriors' position in the draft.

The combine -- originally planned for May 21-24 -- also was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It's unclear if the event will be held in person or through virtual methods. Over the last couple of months, the Warriors have been able to speak with draft prospects over Zoom.

Will the Warriors be able to bring prospects to Chase Center in San Francisco for workouts? That also remains unknown.
