'NBA 2K' Players Tournament bracket: Full schedule, results, scores for ESPN's players-only tournament image

The quarterfinals of the "NBA 2K" Players Tournament — a video game competition between NBA stars — will feature just one player older than 26.

Outside of undisputed trash talk champ Patrick Beverley, 31, the second stage of the tournament is filled with the league's next generation of top talent. Trae Young, DeAndre Ayton and Devin Booker are prime examples of players the NBA wants to showcase as much as possible.

ESPN2 will show all four quarterfinals matchups live on Thursday night, while ESPN will carry the semifinals on Saturday.

The level of play will hopefully improve now that 2K newbies have been eliminated. Most of the remaining competitors are well-versed on the sticks, with the likes of Ayton and Booker familiar with streaming their gaming online.
