(PRESS RELEASE) -- Turtle Beach (NASDAQ: HEAR), the leading worldwide gaming audio brand, today announced a new partnership with Knicks Gaming as the organization's official gaming peripherals partner for the 2018 NBA 2K League season. The partnership will see Knicks Gaming players using Turtle Beach headsets at the Knicks Gaming training facility, and the two companies also plan to produce a variety of content highlighting the fun and challenging aspects of the inaugural season. The first ever NBA 2K draft took place 4 April 2018 with Knicks Gaming selecting ninth overall and welcoming Dayvon "GOOFY757" Curry as the first ever member of the Knicks Gaming organization.

Knicks Gaming players will use Turtle Beach's flagship Elite Pro gaming headsets in all practices and streaming sessions.

"We're thrilled to be an integral part of the Knicks Gaming organization during the founding year of the NBA 2K League," said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach Corporation.
