VICTOR WEMBANYAMA, CAITLIN CLARK AND DERRICK ROSE NAMED COVER ATHLETES FOR NBA 2K27

Three basketball stars are the newest NBA 2K cover athletes this year. San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama, Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and former NBA MVP Derrick Rose were revealed as the faces of NBA 2K27 on Wednesday ahead of the video game's Sept. 4 release.

Wembanyama is on the standard edition, Clark is on the deluxe edition and Rose is on the ultra edition. Wembanyama is coming off a breakout season, leading the Spurs back to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014 before losing to the New York Knicks. The 22-year-old Wembanyama won his first Defensive Player of the Year award, along with a First Team All-NBA selection and Western Conference Finals MVP. Clark, 24, is in the midst of her third WNBA season and has been named an All-Star each year. After an injury-plagued 2025 season limited her to just 13 games, Clark is averaging a career-high 20.7 points per game this season.
