It was hard for me to make this video and it’s hard for me to make this post but thank you all for the love and support. @PottsJackson @Wavy @Randomz love you boys and thank you @NetsGamingCrew @NBA2KLeague for given the chance to participate in season 3. https://t.co/spQCUesHBj
NetsGC acquired Rando from Hawks Talon GC over the offseason in exchange for the 16th overall pick in the 2020 entry draft. The team is scheduled to begin remote play in week three; Hawks Talon GC started the season 3-1.
Rando is not the first player suspended for a code of conduct violation. Boo Painter, the league’s leading scorer in 2018, was suspended indefinitely before the 2019 offseason; Timelycook was suspended for the 2019 season but was drafted in the first round by Raptors Uprising GC after serving his suspension and being readmitted for the 2020 season.
