In addition to a Twitter account, the NBA also launched its very own Discord channel. At the time of writing, there were 36,921 members.
On the Discord channel, an introductory message stated,
“Welcome to the official discord server of the NBA, home to an always-on-discussion around NBA games, teams, players, and NFTs. Stay tuned for more as our server topics continue to grow!”
Users need to review the rules before gaining full access to the Discord channel.
