Carmelo Anthony will be on the Superstar Edition cover of NBA 2K26. The legendary national champion at Syracuse and bucket-getter in the NBA mainly with the Nuggets and Knicks can celebrate some retirement time with this cool honor.

2K Games is back again with another reveal: WNBA star Angel Reese and NBA Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony are the cover athletes for NBA 2K26 ’ s special editions. The Chicago Sky forward will grace the cover of NBA 2K26: WNBA Edition, while Melo is featured on the Superstar Edition.

Once the Oklahoma City Thunder triumphed in the NBA finals, point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – or SGA as he’s more colloquially known – always looked like a lock for NBA 2K26’s cover. And that’s exactly what publisher 2K Sports has announced, ahead of the title’s release on 5th September.
