NBA 2K is the world’s most popular basketball video game series, and the cover athlete is always a major talking point. Almost every player would have grown up playing the game, so they consider it an honor to be recognised by NBA 2K.

San Antonio Spurs player Victor Wembanyama will be featured on the standard edition cover of the NBA 2K27 video game, set to release Sept. 4.

He became just the third player alongside Dikembe Mutombo and Marcus Camby to lead the NBA in blocks for three straight seasons.
