The Sacramento Kings on Wednesday will be hosting Tech Night, including a halftime eSports game of Super Smash Bros being displayed on the Golden 1 Center’s 4K video board that will serve as a look into the NBA’s eSports future.
The Kings’ involvement with eSports will stretch beyond this week, as the team is among those that will participate in the upcoming NBA 2K eLeague, according to President Chris Granger. Last month, the NBA and Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. announced the eLeague, which will become first U.S. professional sports league to operate an eSports league.
