DeMar DeRozan and Kawhi Leonard will not make their San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors debuts, respectively, until the preseason starts at the end of September; they were traded for each other, as well as Danny Green to the Raptors and Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick to the Spurs.
Fans can technically see DeRozan and Leonard in their new jerseys ahead of the preseason, but in a different format, through NBA 2K19. It’s the latest video game from 2K Sports that arrives soon.
On Tuesday, 2K released the first NBA 2K19 trailer after weeks of player-rating announcements.
