The NBA has announced a players-only video game tournament to air on ESPN, with players like Kevin Durant and Donvoan Mitchell squaring off in a NBA 2K20 battle. The winner will donate $100,000 to coronavirus relief efforts.
A new video game tournament is offering NBA stars a chance for a competitive outlet, as players who would normally be preparing for the postseason are instead practicing social distancing.
The players-only video game tournament starts Friday and will be aired on ESPN as hoop stars face off against each other in the popular basketball franchise NBA 2K. It's a much needed distraction for players, who have found themselves with time on their hands since the NBA suspended games March 11 because of COVID-19.
