February 16, 2024 – NBA Infinite, the officially licensed nonstop
basketball action game, will launch globally on February 17 starting at 34pm
PST/67pm
EST. The game is free to play and will be available on the App Store and Google Play.

“NBA
Infinite is a game built from the ground up with players in mind,” said
Anthony Crouts, Senior Director, Level Infinite. “Our team is dedicated to
creating an experience that matches everything fans love about basketball.
Together with the NBA and the NBPA, we have delivered a game that fuels their
passion with an immersive experience right on their phone.”

NBA Infinite is a real-time PvP mobile
game about expressing love for the greatest game in the universe -- NBA
basketball. Players can gather friends to build a team for 3v3 matches or see
who really has the most game in 1v1 and Dynasty 5v5 modes. The real-time online
competitive modes offer a unique experience for mobile. In the game, players
will also be able to collect and upgrade a dream roster of current NBA stars,
make big decisions that turn a starting five into a championship lineup, and
upgrade the coaching staff to strengthen their defensive and offensive tactics.

Karl-Anthony Towns will serve as the first
official icon athlete for the game. As the face of NBA Infinite, Towns will be featured in the game
globally alongside several other key brand ambassadors including De'Aaron Fox, RJ Barrett, Tobias Harris, Andrew Wiggins, and Jrue Holiday. Moreover, NBA All-Star Rudy Gobert will act as the brand
ambassador across European markets. To go along with this star power, veteran
NBA announcer Mark Jones joins the NBA
Infinite desk for the play-by-play in English-speaking territories and
regional sportscasters are available in Germany with Michael Körner, France with
Xavier Vaution and Brazil with Rômulo
Mendonça.

“NBA
Infinite offers the NBA a unique opportunity to engage our fans and bring
them closer to the players, the league and each other,” said Adrienne O’Keeffe,
VP of Global Partnerships & Media at NBA. “We look forward to bringing the
excitement of the NBA to our fans around the world so they can compete anywhere
and anytime.”

"Level
Infinite and Lightspeed Studios have built a unique gaming experience around
the game of basketball," said Josh Goodstadt, Chief Commercial Officer of
THINK450, the innovation and partnership engine of the NBPA. "We are
thrilled to have so many of our players come on as brand ambassadors, and it
reflects their collective passion for gaming. It's so important for us to
partner with companies that champion our players - and NBA Infinite does
precisely that."

NBA Infinite provides a true NBA mobile
gaming experience that will evolve with the league through every season:

●

Dynasty, dominate in 1v1 pickup games — or hone your skills in casual modes

decisions and build off them for your next run at the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

●
TEAM UP AND COMPETE: Gather your friends to build
your championship PvP team in 3v3, or see who really has game in 1v1 and 5v5
modes. The online competitive modes offer a unique experience for mobile. Hop

fuel your competitive spirit! Play and compete anywhere and share your
highlights with the world.

●
COLLECT YOUR NBA STAR
PLAYERS:
Collect real NBA players, each with a unique moveset just waiting for you to

Young, or sink three-pointers like Stephen Curry all day.

●
NONSTOP NBA ACTION: Cross up your opponents with
Exclusive and Dominance skills that are unique to each NBA star, nail the
perfect give-and-go, and hit the game-winning buzzer beater — all from the
comfort of your phone.
