Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese will be featured in the next NBA 2K edition, out Sept. 6, and manufacturer Take-Two Interactive is priming the pump by releasing images of two of the WNBA’s newest stars.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were depicted in a pair of posts on X today, with both posts getting hundreds of thousands of views on the platform.
NBA 2K is the best-selling basketball video game for Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., which reported a record $3.37 billion in revenue last year.
NBA 2K allows players to configure a female player, and in 2021, WNBA star Candace Parker was featured on its cover, the first women to be so spotlighted.
Today’s images of Clark and Reese showcase the prime candidates for WNBA Rookie of the Year.
“A game-changer in every way,” read the post which included the image of Clark.
“Chi Barbie got the Windy City buzzing,” the post about Reese said.
Clark’s WNBA career has been a box office bonanza for the league since she was taken No. 1 overall by the Fever earlier this year. Clark has averaged 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game while also shooting above 40 percent.
Reese is averaging 13.5 points per game and 11.9 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field, and also set a WNBA record with 15 consecutive double-doubles before the Olympic break.
