San Antonio's own Spurs brought a different kind of game to the Frost Bank Plaza this past Sunday. The "Game at The Rock" event attracting locals to show off their digital dexterity and hoop dreams, according to KENS 5. Spurs guard Tre Jones, the gaming influencer SypherPK, and esports power players Team Liquid headlined the shindig, giving fans a chance at controller clashing glory.

The day's free-flowing events included chances for attendees to win prizes through raffle, and even duke it out in virtual battles against Jones and Team Liquid; these matchups were streamed for public viewing pleasure on the big screen and Jones wasn't just there to game, but also mingled with the throng – snapping pics and autographing memorabilia for basketball buffs, as KSAT reported.

The Spurs' engagement with locals didn't stop at gaming. Real-life b-ball action was on offer too, with Spurs Sports Academy coaches leading basketball competitions and skills challenges that allowed fans to take their shot at athletic fame – all part of the team's efforts to strengthen their ties with the community.

There was no shortage of entertainment with mascot appearances from The Spurs Coyote and DaBull to create a family-friendly atmosphere; the event, a collaboration between the Spurs and high-performance PC brand Alienware, spanned between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., a free parking incentive was a sweet deal for attendees – all as The Rock at La Cantera transformed into a gaming and sports hub, according to KENS 5.

"Game at The Rock" illustrated the Spurs' commitment to connecting with fans beyond the hardwood – even in the doldrums of their offseason, they're game for community-building fun, all without requiring a penny or prior registration, just show up and play.
