Hawks’ Trae Young competing in televised NBA video game
Trae Young will show off his moves on a console instead of a court.
The Hawks guard is part of a 16-player field of NBA standouts participating in a simulation video game, the NBA 2K20 Players Tournament.
The NBA, the players’ association and 2K announced the event on Tuesday. Play begins Friday, and the winner of the week-long competition will receive a $100,000 donation to a coronavirus-related relief effort of their choice.
The competition will be televised on ESPN and ESPN2.
