The NBA 2K Players Tournament has been announced by 2K, the NBA, and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).
The NBA 2K20 event will feature 16 current NBA players, including top seeds Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets and Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks.
Players will compete in a single-elimination format on Xbox One, where the NBA 2K20 champion will receive a $100,000 (£80,687) prize to donate to the charity of their choice in support of ongoing coronavirus relief efforts.
Jason Argent, Senior Vice President in Sports Strategy and Licensing at 2K, spoke on the initiative: “We’re thrilled to partner with the NBA and NBPA to bring basketball back to fans throughout the world and to help those in need during these uncertain times.
