The Sacramento Kings announced that they will be part of the innaugural season of the NBA 2K eSports league. The league will involve 5-on-5 teams of players using personally designed players, so the participants won’t be forced to play with the current Sacramento Kings roster, they’ll just be associated with the Kings.
It’s not surprising that the Kings would be involved. Kings co-owners Andy Miller and Mark Mastrov own NRG Sports, an eSports team they founded in 2015. And of course the Kings pride themselves on being tech savvy and on the cutting edge.
