All-Star Game in the NBA Ben Simmons has joined Perion DAO, an NFT esports group, as a brand ambassador. In a play-to-earn model, Perion, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), adds NFT awards in its games to reward higher-skilled players. As a brand ambassador, Simmons, an enthusiastic gamer, will help Perion expand its user base.

In a statement, Simmons added, “What Perion is doing is extremely crucial when it comes to getting more people involved and releasing the competitive spirit of gamers all over the world.”

Simmons, disgruntled with the Sixers organization, has not played in an NBA game this season and has asked to be traded from Philadelphia. Simmons now joins fellow Australian-born NBA player Josh Giddey to sponsor an NFT gaming company, following Giddey’s partnership with Crypto Gaming United.
