Daily fantasy sports gaming company DraftKings has made Golden State Warriors its latest partner from the North American NBA basketball competition.
The terms of the agreement, under which DraftKings becomes the presenting sponsor of Warriors Slate Night, were not disclosed.
On Warriors Slate Night, the Golden State Warriors wear their alternate slate uniform for all home and away Saturday games during the NBA season. It hosted the first such event last December 15 against Charlotte Hornets and has won all five Slate Night fixtures to date.
“Slate Night brings a unique energy to Oracle Arena, and we’re honoured that DraftKings will be a part of it,” Jason Robins, DraftKings chief executive and co-founder, said. “The rise in daily fantasy sports has garnered interest from fans and professional teams across the country, and we’re looking forward to working with the Warriors to see how we can leverage that popularity to bring them even closer to their fans.”
This week, DraftKings has added Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers to an NBA roster that already featured Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets.
