ESPN’s Jacob Wolf reports the Nets will be among four new members of the NBA 2K League, the NBA’s big foray into esports.
The others, reports Wolf, will be the Lakers, Timberwolves and Hawks. The new teams will bring the number NBA clubs with esports components to 21. The NBA made joining optional.
The other 17 were charter members of the league that launched May 1, with the remainder declining for a variety of reasons. The only big market teams without representation now will be the Bulls, Clippers and Rockets.
