Basketball pre-draft event

The PBA draft combine is an annual two-day event before the PBA draft. At the combine, rookie prospects undergo biometrics and perform various athletic tests and shooting drills. Then they are divided into teams and play 5-on-5 against each other in a mini-tournament. At the end of the tournament, an MVP and the Mythical Five are named. Beginning in the Season 47 draft, rookies are also oriented on the Uniform Players Contract (UPC) during the combine. An athlete's performance during the combine can affect perception, draft status, and ultimately the player's career.

The athletic tests include both standing and running vertical jumps, three-quarter-court sprint time, reaction time, and lane agility time. Previously, other physical tests included bench presses, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups. Physical measurements include height, weight, reach, and wingspan.

Attendance is mandatory for all rookie prospects, with those who didn't attend removed from the list of eligible participants. However, those who have played for the Philippine national team are no longer required to participate, with an example being Javi Gómez de Liaño in the Season 47 draft. Players may be excused if they are in another country, are playing for another team at the moment, or are injured, provided they inform the league ahead of time.

The league previously held a rookie camp. From 2012 to 2013, no scrimmages were held as only biometrics were taken. In 2014, it was rebranded as the PBA draft combine, with scrimmages held once again. In 2021, the draft combine was cancelled due to COVID-19 safety reasons. It was brought back a year later.
