NBA 2K Players Tournament

2K, the NBA and the NBPA have announced the “NBA 2K Players Tournament” where 16 current NBA players verse each other on NBA 2K20. 

It’s a 1v1 single-elimination tournament on Xbox One with the likes of Kevin Durant and Donovan Mitchell. The winner will select a charity to receive a $100,000 donation from 2K, the NBA and the NBPA to support the coronavirus relief efforts. 

So who are the players?
