For the first time ever, the NBA is joining Fortnite. According to the official blog post by Epic Games, the Fortnite x NBA crossover will bring all 30 NBA teams to the game.
The NBA Fortnite skins will be available in the item shop. There is also something known as Team Battles, which sounds like an LTM, and that is also scheduled to go live in Fortnite.

Other than that, the "Shoot and Score" pack will feature the Hookshot emote and the Mini Hoop Back Bling. There's also a traversal emote known as Dribblin', which is set to go live with all these bundles.
Apart from the Fortnite NBA skins, players will be able to grab their copy of the Trae Young locker bundle and the Donovan Mitchell locker bundle.
What are the Fortnite NBA Team Battles?
The Fortnite NBA Team Battles begin right after the State Farm Play-In Tournament. The Fortnite NBA Team Battles are set to go live from May 19th and will continue until May 23rd. Over these five days, players will have a chance to earn in-game rewards and V-Bucks.

Once signed up, players will receive challenges in game. Completing these challenges will help players earn their supporting team points.
