Florida guard Xaivian Lee invited to 2026 NBA G League Combine
Florida Gators guard Xaivian Lee will participate in the NBA G League Combine next week. It was announced Friday that he is one of 44 prospects for this year’s event. If Lee stands out, he could join Rueben Chinyelu at the NBA Draft Combine.
The 2026 AWS NBA G League Combine will take place May 8–10 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. A select number of players from the draft-eligible group will earn invitations, based on their performance, to the AWS NBA Draft Combine 2026 later this month.
The three-day event provides NBA Draft prospects with the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of NBA and NBA G League scouts, coaches and front-office personnel. Participants will take part in five-on-five games as well as strength and agility drills.
After a record-setting career at Princeton, Lee transferred to Florida last offseason and started all 35 games for the Gators’ 2025-26 SEC championship team. He averaged 11.6 points, 4.2 assists, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals, including four 20-point performances.
