Wembanyama, who led the San Antonio Spurs to the 2026 NBA Finals, graces the “Standard Edition” cover. The 22-year-old Wembanyama is already considered one of the game’s most dominant players.

He was the Most Valuable Player of the 2026 Western Conference Finals and finished third in Kia MVP voting behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić. He was also the Kia Defensive Player of the Year and posted 25 points and 11.5 rebounds per game as San Antonio went 62-20.

Clark, a star for the Indiana Fever, will be on the “Deluxe Edition” cover and continues the NBA 2K trend of featuring a WNBA player on one of their covers. She recently made history after recording 45 points and 10 assists to become the first player with 40 or more points and 10 or more assists in a game in WNBA history.

She is a three-time All-Star, was the WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2024 and gathered numerous collegiate accolades during her playing days at Iowa.

She’s obsessed with the work 💭🏀

Rose, the Kia NBA MVP in 2010-11, will grace the “Ultra Edition” and is on an NBA 2K cover for the second time in his career. He shared NBA 2K13’s cover with Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin.

In winning MVP in 2011, Rose — the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 Draft — was the youngest MVP winner in league history at 22. Rose averaged 17.4 points and 5.2 assists in 723 regular-season games and was a three-time All-Star, made the All-NBA First Team in 2010-11 and was the Kia Rookie of the Year in 2008-09.
