As COVID-19 continues to impact sports leagues worldwide, many players are turning to streaming as a way to engage with their fans. NBA stars, in particular, are making the transition to streaming, with some even participating in Call of Duty‘s new battle royale game mode, Warzone. With no games to play, these players have increased their streaming activity and are connecting with their audience through platforms like Twitch.
Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker
Devin Booker, a standout player from the 2015 NBA Draft, has been streaming for quite some time. He regularly plays alongside other professional players and popular streamers, such as 100 Thieves owner Nadeshot and Cloakzy. While he primarily streams Warzone, he has also streamed games like Apex Legends and NBA 2K.
Miami Heat’s Meyers Leonard
Meyers Leonard, a seven-year veteran with the Miami Heat, recently started streaming again after the NBA season was suspended. He has been streaming a lot of Warzone and has a growing community of over 25 thousand followers. Leonard also participated in a charity event hosted by FaZe Clan, with all the proceeds going towards COVID-19 relief efforts.
New Orleans Pelicans’ Josh Hart
Josh Hart, formerly with the Los Angeles Lakers and now playing for the New Orleans Pelicans, is no stranger to streaming. While he used to stream Fortnite, he has now joined the Warzone trend along with other young NBA stars. Hart has played with fellow NBA player De’Aaron Fox and Cleveland Cavaliers’ Larry Nance on stream.
Sacramento Kings’ De’Aaron Fox
De’Aaron Fox has received praises from other NBA players for his gaming skills. Both Josh Hart and Meyers Leonard consider him one of the best Call of Duty players in the NBA. Fox has recently started streaming on Twitch during the league’s lockdown period. On the court, he is equally talented, averaging 20.4 points per game and 6.8 assists this season.
