Cardinals' Byron Murphy Jr. to Man Controls for Suns Against Vikings' Irv Smith Jr.

The Phoenix Suns will get another assist from the gridiron when Arizona Cardinals cornerback and Valley-native Byron Murphy Jr. will lead the team this afternoon as he takes on Minnesota Vikings Tight End Irv Smith Jr. controlling the Timberwolves on NBA 2K20, streamed live on Twitch.

Born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Murphy Jr. began to make a name for himself at Saguaro High School before embarking for PAC-12 football at the University of Washington. After an illustrious NCAA career including All PAC-12 honors, the Arizona Cardinals selected the home-grown talent in the 2019 NFL Draft and he’ll once again rep his hometown while leading the Suns on the virtual hardwood.
