Play by Play Studios has shared a new dunk video showcasing newly announced NBA stars Anthony Edwards, Zion Williamson and Ja Morant. It marks the first look at in-game footage since last year and offers another glimpse at the fast-paced, above-the-rim action the studio is building. Additional NBA players have been revealed over the past few weeks as the roster continues to grow toward roughly 30 launch athletes, with more expected beyond that.
