Caitlin Clark adds NBA 2K27 cover to growing endorsement portfolio
The Fever star will headline the game’s Deluxe Edition, becoming the first WNBA player featured by herself on a global premium NBA 2K cover.
Caitlin Clark is adding another first to her growing résumé.
The Indiana Fever star and face of the WNBA will be featured on the cover of the upcoming NBA 2K27 video game.
Clark becomes the first WNBA player featured on her own global premium cover.
“Being on the cover of NBA 2K27 is special because this game reaches fans all over the world,” Clark said in a statement.
“To be the first WNBA player on her own global cover means women’s basketball gets to show up on that stage too, and I am proud to be part of that.”
(Take now how Clark always seems to say the right thing, and never misses an opportunity to elevate the game and the league.)
The company announced on Wednesday that Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs is the cover athlete for the Standard Edition, while Clark will headline the Deluxe Edition and Derrick Rose the Ultra 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," said Zak Armitage, SVP & GM of NBA 2K.
"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 NBA 2K27.”
And here’s what Clark looks like in the game:
