The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired an eSports team. Under the deal, Team Dignitas and Apex Gaming's League of Legends team – which will compete under the name Team Dignitas – will be merged and managed by the basketball team.
This is the first eSports acquisition from a major North American sports team. According to the Sixers, it will manage Team Dignitas' daily operations and also provide support with endorsements, branding, and more.

Our Take
The Sixers can afford to expand beyond the court, since they're obviously not overspending on player salaries.
