NBA returns in virtual form as Kevin Durant headlines video game tournament

A new video game tournament is offering NBA stars a chance for a competitive outlet, as players who would normally be preparing for the postseason are instead practicing social distancing.

The players-only video game tournament starts Friday and will be aired on ESPN as hoop stars face off against each other in the popular basketball franchise NBA 2K.

It’s a much needed distraction for players, who have found themselves with time on their hands since the NBA suspended games March 11 because of COVID-19.

I wish they would live stream online for those who are into 🏀.
