MILWAUKEE — The first 20,000 fans at Friday's Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Clippers game at Fiserv Forum can claim a free digital collectible poster.
The Bucks are launching a fan-focused Digital Collectibles experience known as “Fear the Deer NFTs.” According to a news release, the collection will allow Bucks fans access to the next generation of sports memorabilia. It was designed in partnership with NFT marketplace.
"As this Fear the Deer NFT experience continues to unfold, fans will receive access to new collections, exclusive digital merchandise and the ability to unlock real-world benefits and other rewards to augment their experience," the Bucks said in a statement on Wednesday.
