San Diego, CA – July 2, 2019 – 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.
