NBA expansion is coming to Atlanta.
The Hawks will be one of four franchises added to the NBA 2K League by joining the esport next year for its second season. The Hawks, Nets, Lakers and Timberwolves will bring the total to 21 of the 30 NBA franchises to participate in the joint venture with Take-Two Interactive as a professional league featuring NBA 2K video game players.
The NBA 2K League is nearing the conclusion of its inaugural season. A number of major projects prevented the Hawks from being a part of the considerable venture from the start.
