NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reveals what he revealed as a cover athlete for the standard version of the NBA 2K26.
Chicago Sky Forward and WNBA All-Star Angel Reese will be featured in the WNBA edition of NBA 2K26. The physical version of the game will be available only in the US.
Carmelo Anthony, a 2025 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame enrollee, three-time Olympic gold medalist and member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, will be appearing in the NBA 2K26 Superstar Edition.
Finally, all three cover athletes will be combined to feature in NBA 2K26’s Reave no Leave Edition. This appears to be the most expensive edition announced here.
I’m not sure exactly how these editions will work yet, but I’m sure the news will continue soon, so stay tuned.
