NBA 2K15: Indiana Pacers Star Paul George to Play Fans Online on Opening Night

The Indiana Pacers Paul George can't be with his team this season due to the unfortunate leg injury he suffered during exhibition games with Team USA, but he can still ball out on NBA 2K15.

He'll do just that on Tuesday night as the NBA season opens with three games. At approximately 7 pm ET, George will hop online to play in the game's MyPark mode to play against fans.

For those who aren't aware of the MyPark mode, it allows gamers to take their created likenesses to street courts and the fictional Jordan Rec Center to team up and play against other members of the NBA 2K community.

On Tuesday, George will be in that number.

With three games on tap on opening night, NBA 2K/NBA fans can start their hoops day an hour early. The Orlando Magic at New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks at San Antonio Spurs games tip off at 8 pm ET. So that gives fans an hour to ball with George before flipping to the real action.

Obviously, everyone won't be able to play with George, but you can still watch the game live on 2K Sports' Twitch channel. It is expected to be a packed virtual house, so 2K is asking fans who are interested in watching to RSVP for the event here.

Game play should be smooth for the event as a patch to fix stability in the mode was released on Friday.

I spoke with social media manager Ronnie Singh aka "Ronnie 2K," and he indicated that George's in-game character would look exactly like him during the live stream. We'll soon find out how much virtual game George has.
