The popular NBA2K video game franchise continues its elevation of WNBA stars with one of the league’s rising stars on its cover.
Sabrina Ionescu will grace the cover of NBA 2K24 WNBA Edition. Ionescu’s cover marks the third WNBA edition of the video game franchise. The Liberty star told Sports Illustrated’s Wilton Jackson that being featured on the cover of the iconic franchise was a “shock” and like a “pinch me moment” after she grew up playing the video game with her brothers, Edward and Andrei.
“Those battles got intense [with her brothers] … but it’s obviously one of the biggest honors,” Ionescu said. “… Just very thankful for what it’s going to mean for a lot of young girls that are going to be able to see that I am and dream of one day also being on the cover.”
