Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose was announced as one of the three cover athletes for the upcoming release of NBA 2K27, joining San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama and Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark.
Rose will be featured on the ultra edition of the popular video game. Wembanyama will be on the standard edition cover, while Clark will grace the deluxe edition.
“Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose each come from different worlds, but they share the same obsession that has altered the trajectory of the game,” 2K executive Zak Armitage said in a statement on Wednesday. “Wembanyama has broken the mold for what a big man can be and keeps breaking it. Clark is pulling up from the logo, not just redefining what range looks like, but the women’s game entirely. And Rose changed what it meant to be a point guard — explosive, physical, unstoppable — and when faced with setbacks, his hunger for the game is what brought him back.
“None of them have an off switch, and that same relentless drive is what defines NBA2K27.”
Rose reacted to the news with a statement of his own.
“It’s crazy looking back at being on the NBA 2K13 cover to now having my own edition for NBA 2K27,” Rose said in a release. “During my journey there have been coaches who believed in me, teammates who made me better, and fans who showed up louder than I ever expected. So, this is a chance to inspire young athletes to stay obsessed with the game. To show them that when you put in the countless hours of hard work, it rewards you.”
2K27 will be available to all players on Sept. 4.
