Four expansion teams begin stocking their roster in NBA 2K League expansion draft
Raptors Uprising GC and the other 16 existing esports teams can lose just one player each in Wednesday’s NBA 2K League expansion draft.
The Atlanta Hawks won the expansion draft lottery and will pick first followed by the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The four teams will each select two players from a pool of 68 players who took part in the inaugural season and were not protected by their original team. The Raptors protected Kenneth (Kenny) Hailey and Trevion (All Hail Trey) Hendrix.
The original 17 teams will be able to retain up to two additional players from their initial roster who were not selected in the expansion draft. But it may cost them in the form of 2019 draft picks.
