Last season's scoring champ and finals MVP will be featured on
the game’s standard edition. He averaged 32.7 points, 6.4
assists and five rebounds per game, leading the Thunder to a
68-14 record.
The Thunder outscored teams by 12.9 points per game, the biggest
margin in league history. They beat the Indiana Pacers in seven
games to win the NBA title. Gilgeous-Alexander was awarded last
week for his stellar season with a record-setting 4-year, $285
million extension.
A release date for NBA 2K26 has yet to be announced. The game is
expected to launch in September.
The NBA 2K cover athlete last year was Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum, who also was featured after his team won the
championship.
The cover athlete announcement comes after 2K Games teased its
plans to get back into the college basketball gaming market. It
wasn't clear whether the developer wants to revive its
long-dormant college basketball franchise or incorporate college
hoops into its NBA franchise.
“2K is the undisputed home of basketball gaming,” 2K Games said
in a statement to The Associated Press last week. “We have a
strong history with college hoops and are exploring exciting new
ways to bring athletes and schools to life. Class is in
session.”
