In a first for the series, Australian national basketball team the Boomers will be included in NBA 2K17.
2K Games and Basketball Australia announced via press release this morning that the Australian Boomers will be the first international team to be added to the NBA 2K franchise. The Boomers join Team USA as the only non-NBA teams in the game.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be part of NBA 2K17,” said Anthony Moore, CEO of Basketball Australia. “We jumped at the chance to have our Australian Boomers in the game, and now Australian gamers can take on the world with Patty Mills, Matthew Dellavedova and Andrew Bogut together in the green and gold.”
Boomers player Patty Mills is excited about the inclusion, “It’s great to see 2K recognizing our nation’s growing impact on the sport with the inclusion of Team Australia in NBA 2K17.”
