Julia StumbaughMay 30, 2024

Arizona standout Caleb Love and Alabama star Mark Sears are among 93 players who have withdrawn from the 2024 NBA Draft, the league announced Thursday.

Both Love and Sears previously announced on social media that they planned to return for another year of NCAA eligibility.

Other "early entry" players who wish to remove themselves from draft consideration must notify the NBA by June 16, according to the NBA.

The draft begins June 27 in Brooklyn, New York.

Love will spend his final season of NCAA eligibility with Arizona after leading the Wildcats to the Pac-12 regular-season championship during his first year with the team.

Sears, who is similarly using his fifth year of eligibility to return to Alabama, will raise the program's NCAA Tournament expectations even higher than this spring's Final Four appearance.

UConn will meanwhile boost the program's hopes of a championship threepeat with the return of Alex Karaban, who started 39 of 40 games for the Huskies last season.

Other withdrawal standouts include Tyon Grant-Foster, who recovered from multiple heart surgeries to lead Grand Canyon to the program's first NCAA Tournament victory this spring, and Xaivian Lee, a standout Princeton playmaker who averaged 17.1 points per game last season.

BYU transfer Jaxson Robinson's name was also listed. The reigning Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year will now commit to Kentucky, per ESPN's Jeff Borzello.

Jalon Moore will return to Oklahoma after averaging 11.2 points through 31 starts in his first season with the team. He is likely to take on a larger role on the Sooners' roster with five of the team's top six scorers having departed this spring, per The Oklahoman's Colton Sulley.

Adama Bal, who led Santa Clara with 31.2 minutes per game last season, will also return for a second season. He could up his draft stock with a second campaign at a school that recently produced a first-round pick in Brandin Podziemski.

Players who remain in the draft past the May 29 deadline, including Bronny James and David Jones, are no longer eligible to return to the NCAA.
