NBA 2k League Week 4: Highlights, News & Scores

The NBA 2k League regular season is now 1/3 of the way complete and teams have officially locked themselves into position for one of the two in-season tournaments, as well as setting themselves up for a playoff run over the season’s final eight weeks.

The Turn will begin Thursday, May 9 and be completed on Saturday, May 11. It will be the first NBA 2k League competition ever to take place outside of the league studios in Long Island City, N.Y. The venue for the 21-team tournament will be the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas.

When T-Wolves Gaming plays its games at The Turn it will be the second week of competition under interim head coach Justin Butler. The team’s first general manager/head coach, Justin Vilvens, was relieved of his duties this past Monday. T-Wolves Gaming’s first competitions with Butler at the helm were part of an exciting fourth regular-season slate of games.
