The game will allow users the chance to put together a squad of NFT-based digital collectibles representing their preferred players and teams to gain points based on the “real-life performance” of NBA players.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, stated “Our partnership with Sorare will give NBA fans an entirely new way to engage with our teams and players. With Sorare’s emerging NFT fantasy platform, we see significant opportunities to broaden our community of fans and grow NBA basketball around the world.”
