The worlds of sports and gaming collided at the Call of Duty XP 2016 in Inglewood, California on Friday.
Reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, Karl-Anthony Towns, picked up the controller and took on former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch and Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps in some first-person shooter action playing Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the thirteenth installment in the popular gaming franchise, and will be released across all major platforms on Nov. 4.
