Boston Celtics–and NBA basketball in general–is a long ways away. To attempt to scratch that itch for its 30 hungry fan-bases, the NBA is putting on an NBA 2K tournament with 16 NBA favorites set to take it to the hardwood digitally on ESPN starting this Friday.
Unfortunately, no member of the Celtics will be present. Nope, not even noted competitive gamer Gordon Hayward. Although he would more likely participate in a League of Legends tournament than take it to the virtual hardwood.
We don’t know what game mode will be used for the tournament.
