Epic Games has announced the Fortnite x NBA collaboration!
Fortnite Battle Royale and the National Basketball Association (NBA) have officially inked a deal to include team names and logos in the popular game. Rumors regarding the crossover began months ago, including a planned Community Event, where players could support a team and earn in-game rewards and V-Bucks for prizes. Now, Epic Games has revealed the collaboration, which begins today, coinciding with the NBA playoffs.

Fortnite players will have the opportunity to purchase many different character outfits and select the team and logo they would like to represent.
