NBA games will be streamed in virtual reality every week this season

Newport Beach start-up NextVR has partnered with NBA Digital to livestream at least one NBA game a week in virtual reality this season. The games can be viewed in virtual reality only through NBA League Pass, a subscription service that broadcasts games on multiple devices and on television. NBA League Pass is part of NBA Digital, which is jointly managed by the NBA and Turner Sports. The virtual reality game broadcasts will be "fully produced" with announcers and multiple camera angles, according to NBA Digital. During game breaks, it said, viewers can see the entertainment at the venue, behind-the-scenes footage and VR-specific commentary.
