Teams have until one day before the start of the 2023-24 regular season to issue extensions to the rookie-scale class of 2020. The top 30 picks can extend or wait until restricted free agency next July. Some will expect max extensions; others will be happy just to lock in longer deals at good money.

The exact figure for a “max” extension won’t be determined until the salary cap is announced for 2024-25 (the first year of each extension). New to the 2023 collective bargaining agreement, a rookie-scale extension can reach five additional years (previously, that required special designation). Technically, the NBA considers a five-year extension as six (and four as five). For brevity, just the additional years are listed for the 30 players (31 with Chuma Okeke) from 2020 with their fates:

[Note: The deadline has elapsed for the 2020 draft class.]
