The NBA Draft Lottery is going virtual this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s maintaining some old rituals.

Teams will still send representatives to the lottery, albeit virtually. The Bulls announced over the weekend that new executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas will represent them in the franchise's third consecutive trip to the lottery.

On Tuesday, the league announced all 14 team representatives, which include some players, executives and alumni.
