Former Arizona guard Caleb Love will have a chance to work his way into the NBA Combine again this spring.

Ranked No. 76 on ESPN’s list of Top 100 NBA prospects, Love was not among the 75 players invited to the combine but reportedly was one of 44 players invited to the second-tier G League Elite Camp, according to HoopsHype.

UA guard Jaden Bradley, who is testing the draft but is expected to return to Arizona, was not invited to either pre-draft event.

The NBA has said “a select number of standout players” from the May 9-11 G League camp would be invited to the NBA Combine from May 11-18. Both events are scheduled to be held at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena.

After becoming the Pac-12 Player of the Year in 2023-24, Love participated in the G League Elite Camp last spring. In two camp scrimmages, Love averaged 8.5 points while shooting 31.3% from the field and hitting 3 of 10 3-pointers.

Love also recorded agility and speed times that were competitive among guards, though he was not invited to continue to the NBA Combine and ultimately returned to Arizona for the 2024-25 season, when he averaged 17.2 and 3.4 assists while shooting 34.0% from 3-point range.
