The NBA season is already in the books, which means that the WNBA season is reaching its most exciting moment.
That’s music to basketball and video game fans’ ears, as it means one thing and one thing only: NBA 2K25 is just around the corner.
With that in mind, the developers wasted no time to showcase their new cover athletes.
As shown by the NBA on Twitter, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, and Las Vegas Aces star A’Ja Wilson will star on the cover.

Truth be told, this is far from a surprise.
Tatum and the Celtics are fresh off winning an NBA championship, the first in his career.
He’s the best player among the defending champions, and while he didn’t win Finals MVP or Eastern Conference MVP, he’s still the face of the winningest franchise in the game.
As for Wilson, she’s been the most dominant force in the WNBA by a significant margin, leading her team to back-to-back WNBA championships.
She’s the reigning WNBA Finals MVP.
It’s nice to see that NBA 2K continues to be an ally for women’s hoops, and it was only right that they started getting the attention they so deserved.
Also, even though most of this newly-found attention has a lot to do with Caitlin Clark and, to a lesser degree, with Angel Reese, they still need to earn their stripes in the game, and Wilson is the actual face of the league.
Now, it’s time to get our pre-orders in and wait until it drops.
