With no NBA games to play, some players are becoming Twitch streamers

With no games to play or practices to participate in, and with most experts advising people to stay at home and remain distanced from the general public to help curb the spread of coronavirus, many NBA players are passing the time at home by playing video games – and some may have the talent to launch a second career as a streamer in their spare time.

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic gave fans an update on what he’s been up to since the NBA season was suspended last Wednesday night, following Rudy Gobert’s positive test for coronavirus.
