Our 76ers GC tournament is a great opportunity for the NBA 2K community to compete for draft eligibility while also supporting a great cause.”
The 2019 NBA 2K League Coach of the Year, Terrell leads a 76ers GC squad that has made its mark on the league through a culture of hard work – and winning. The winningest team in NBA 2K League history boasts a league-best 59 wins with a .621 winning percentage through three seasons.
76ers GC has even bigger goals for Season 4, and the draft is among the first steps in the process.
More from the NBA 2KL Draft Prospect Series Hub page: In January, following the release of Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles, the NBA 2K League Draft Prospect Series will continue with up to eight NBA 2K League teams hosting NBA 2K21 Pro-Am tournaments on Sony PlayStation 5 or Microsoft Xbox Series X. All players on the winning team from each team-hosted tournament—on both current generation consoles and next-generation consoles will be made eligible for the 2021 NBA 2K League Draft. NBA 2K League teams will also be able to select one player not on the winning team of each tournament they host to receive a “Prospect Badge” and become Draft-eligible.
