Draft

[edit]

A draft for the teams to select their ten regular players, which will be joined in games by guest 11th and 12th Players, was held on 16 January 2024.[2] Teams would have the option to "steal" a player picked between the fourth and eighth rounds, with the team on the receiving end of the steal being given the next pick to select a new player.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Rounds 4, 5 and 6 were combined into a single "triple pick" round, wherein each team selected its three players in one go.
  2. ^ Muchachos' original first pick, Jesús Paganoni, had withdrawn from the Draft pool, unbeknownst to the team staff, which led to them being allowed to pick Hernández in his place.
  3. ^ Arcos was stolen by Club de Cuervos, but Los Chamos immediately used their own steal option to take him back.
  4. ^ Muchachos' seventh-round pick was moved to the end of the round after they failed to select a player within the 20-second time limit in their original turn.

First Split (February–May 2024)

[edit]

The first split began on 25 February 2024 and is set to conclude with its Final Four on 4 May.
