2. Nike NBA Connected Jersey offers, including upcoming offers, can be found on the Unlocks tab at the bottom left of the app screen. New unlocks are accessed by tapping your jersey every month.
3. Tap the link on the unlock detail page to link your 2K gamertag to your NikePlus profile.

Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble accessing a Nike Connect Jersey offer, please check out these troubleshooting tips:

1. The NikeConnect App is available for both Android and iOS. Please verify that you have a compatible smartphone. Version 4.2 and up is required for Android devices and iOS 11 or up is required for Apple devices. The NikeConnect App is also compatible with iPhone 7, 7 Plus, iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X models.
2. Make sure the NikeConnect app is open and in the foreground.
3. Experiment with the placement of your phone over the NikeConnect logo on the jersey's tag.
