NBA 2K22 Season 3 introduces a new MyTEAM Game Mode: Clutch Time

NBA 2K22 MyTEAM will have a brand-new game mode: Clutch Time. NBA 2K22 Season 3 Iced Out is finally here, and with it is the 4-point line! The 4-point line in Clutch Time will only appear towards the end of a game, triggering when there are only 5 minutes left on the clock and you and your opponent are tied up. Use the 4-point line as an opportunity to put a dagger in on your win, or stage a comeback yourself! If neither player gets a lead on, the game will enter sudden death, where the first player to score wins!

Winning Clutch Time games will let you earn Pink Diamond Damian Lillard! Get lucky and you'll also get a chance to get Pink Diamond Michael Redd. Find out more about Clutch Time on the latest NBA 2K22 Courtside Report.
