The foray into arcade basketball is a far cry from Saber Interactive’s previous work, which included Halo: The Master Chief Collection and co-developing Quake Champions. The NBA evidently thinks Saber’s genre transition is a slam dunk, because it granted NBA Playgrounds with official NBA licensing - meaning that just over 150 NBA players will be available in cartoon form, dunking on each other in the game’s arcade style 2-on-2 gameplay....

The odds facing the Raptors entering these playoffs mirror what Lowry has dealt with his entire career.
