After Michael Jordan, 2K Games have now revealed the cover athletes for their WNBA edition of NBA 2K23.

NBA 2K has always been a successful franchise that offers authenticity in both gameplay and presentation. After recently revealing Michael Jordan as their first cover athlete, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird are going to don the WNBA edition’s cover of the game.

The NBA 2K23 WNBA Edition marks the second cover in NBA 2K franchise history to celebrate WNBA athletes.
