The NBA and Take-Two Interactive announced that they would be making serious and sweeping changes to the NBA 2K League in an effort to grow and develop viewership. This will be coming into effect in the 2025 season, but as for how this will be actually enacted remains to be seen, as it has now been reported by Dexerto that the League’s CEO, Andrew Perlmutter, has fired all of the staff.
This was seemingly confirmed by Heat Check Gaming general manager “Fame” who took to X to state “Bro fired everybody in 10 minutes and got off”.
Various other members of the NBA 2K League have also stepped forward and mentioned that they are now out of work too, all following a town hall meeting that was hosted on July 2 to reveal the revamp plans.
There has not been any confirmation or comment from the NBA 2K League or Take-Two as to the reported mass layoffs.
