San Diego, CA –
July 2, 2019 – Leading gaming headset and accessory brand Turtle Beach (Nasdaq: HEAR) today
announced two new partnerships with 2019 NBA first round draft picks PJ
Washington and Kevin Porter Jr. Both players join fellow NBA star Josh Hart of
the New Orleans Pelicans in working with Turtle Beach to produce content
highlighting the power and benefits of using the highest-quality gaming equipment
when playing online in between training and going head-to-head with the best
basketball players in the world.
“A passion for competing is core to
our beliefs, so it’s an honor for us to work with pro athletes like PJ and
Kevin to inspire people to enjoy gaming and healthy competition, both on and
off the court,” said Juergen Stark, CEO, Turtle Beach. “We’re excited to have them
join the Turtle Beach family and to work with them on creating great gaming
content as they set out on their respective NBA careers.”
In 2019, as a sophomore, Washington was
named Third-Team All American and First Team SEC. He led his Kentucky Wildcats
in scoring and rebounding and guided them to an Elite Eight appearance in the
NCAA tournament. On Thursday night, the Hornets selected him 12th in
the NBA draft. USC freshman standout Porter Jr., who was named Washington’s Mr.
Basketball in 2018, was also selected in the first round of the draft by the
Milwaukee Bucks, and was traded to the Cavaliers where he’ll begin
his pro career. Through this partnership with Turtle Beach, facilitated through
an extended strategic partnership with Roc Nation and Roc Nation Sports,
PJ and Kevin will elevate their gaming with the highly-acclaimed Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp Pro Performance Gaming Audio System
– the Company’s premier competitive gaming audio setup for Xbox One and
PlayStation®4.
Turtle Beach’s Elite
