Pro NBA2K Gamer Timothy 'oLARRY' Anselimo to Continue Career After Shooting
Timothy "oLARRY" Anselimo is planning to continue his professional gaming career following his recovery from injuries suffered in the mass shooting at a Madden NFL 19 event in August.
On Wednesday, Jacob Wolf of ESPN.com reported Anselimo was shot in the chest, hip and hand by fellow competitor David Katz at the Madden tournament. Two individuals were killed, 11 more were injured and Katz died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police in Jacksonville, Florida.
"oLARRY" competed for the Milwaukee Bucks' affiliate in the NBA 2K League last season. His contract wasn't renewed following the league's debut campaign, but he was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves' team in Wednesday's expansion draft and will be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers' Cavs Legion GC, per Wolf.
