Ever since the quarantine was imposed after the NBA suspension on March 11 due to the COVID-19 crisis, NBA players who are fond of gaming constantly streamed their games on sites like Twitch. The league also conducted an NBA 2K20 Player Tournament where stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Trae Young, Donovan Mitchell and Zach LaVine participated to win a $100,000 prize which was donated to a COVID-19 relief charity. Players like Hart and Gobert, who arrived at the NBA bubble, shared their gaming setup with fans. Gobert shared his Twitch stream, while Hart posted his setup on Instagram. Jordan Clarkson also shared a photo of his monitor and setup on his Instagram story. Phoenix Suns star Deandre Ayton was spotted carrying his monitor after arriving in Orlando, to which Hart reacted on Twitter. 

Josh Hart also interacted with fans on Twitter, discussing his Wi-Fi and streaming. In a recent tweet, Hart referred to his gaming set up as 'necessities', adding that it depends on how good the Wi-Fi is. He later added that he might not be able to stream due to the Wi-Fi at the venue and even asked his followers for tips on how to get good mobile Wi-Fi. Washington Wizards forward Admiral Schofield also tweeted about forgetting his HDMI cord, which he needed to play Call of Duty Warzone. Brooklyn Nets point guard Chris Chiozza, Denver Nuggets shooting guard Troy Daniels and Gobert also shared what kind of food was provided at the NBA bubble.
