Angel Reese became one of the few WNBA players who will be on the cover of the NBA 2K26 video game when he launches at the end of this month, sharing the honor with the star of Oklahoma City Thunder Shai Gilgous-Alexander and the former Carmelo Anthony of New York Knicks.
Sky’s star joined Candace Parker, Diana Tauurasi, Sue Bird, Sabrina Ionescu and A’ja Wilson on the covers of the WNBA edition, which began with NBA 2K22, when the WNBA had its 25th anniversary.

The announcement occurred on the same day that Reebok announced its exclusive shoe. The footwear is seen on the deck.
“Of course we do everything big. Why not debut my exclusive shoe on the cover of NBA2K?!” She wrote in X.
However, WNBA fans were stunned that Reese was chosen about Indiana Fover Caitlin Clark star, who received the largest number of fans’ stars this year. While Reese again published a message in X, saying “being an angel Reese Hater must suck hahaha”, there were many criticisms for everyone.
Reese and Clark will always be tied from the National Women’s Basketball Championship of the NCAA of 2023 when LSU defeated Iowa and reese in the mockery of “You Can’t see me” so that Clark be Burle de Clark in the middle of the victory. The two arrived at the WNBA along with Clark being the general selection number 1 of the 2024 Draft. They were in the same All-Star team last year.
