The lottery is exclusively for current Iowa State University students, who can now enter their names online to participate.
Haliburton missed the 2025-26 season with an Achilles injury he sustained in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals.
This will be the first NBA preseason game in Ames since 2018. That game pitted the Timberwolves against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks won, 125-107, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 21 points.
