The Charlotte Hornets announced today that they will join the NBA 2K League in 2020.
Hornets president and vice chairman Fred Whitfield shared his thoughts in the press release.
Hornets Sports & Entertainment is thrilled to bring the next professional sports league franchise to Charlotte. The popularity and growth of esports both in the U.S. and internationally continues to rise at a tremendous rate. Our NBA 2K League affiliate will provide us with another opportunity to extend the HSE brand and reach a highly-coveted, as well as hard-to-reach, younger demographic of fans.
