The Golden State Warriors’ official NBA 2K League team is busy laying the smackdown this season, but they’re still finding time to give back to the Bay Area during the pandemic.

Warriors Gaming Squad has announced they are hosting an NBA 2K tournament for Bay Area AAU teams. This is a huge deal as a lot of these young hoopers aren’t able to play the game they love because of Covid-19 concerns. Now, they’ll get a taste of competition via PS4 or XBOX and build camaraderie with their real life teammates against other AAU squads.
