Buddy is the Sacramento King’s guard. It’s expected that money raised from the gear’s auctions will be channeled towards supporting numerous charities. Cash raised from the auction occurring on Hield’s jersey will be sent to support the relief efforts of Hurricane Dorian which had hit the Bahamas sometime last year. Ryan Montoya, the Kings CTO spoke about this latest innovation and noted that:

“We have integrated blockchain technology into our business across multiple platforms […] now our fans will have the opportunity to securely purchase authentic game-worn merchandise in real-time using an innovative blockchain-based solution.”

The Sacramento Kings have been involved in crypto-related matters for some time now. In the past, Cointelegraph reported, the Kings were among one of the first teams to start accepting BTC payments for their gear back in 2014. By the end of 2018, they also entered into a partnership agreement with a crypto mining company that would help them put money into their scholarship fund.
