Caitlin Clark will be history’s first WNBA cover athlete in NBA 2K. The news came out on July 22, 2026. She shares the cover with Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs and Derrick Rose. CBS and NBC point out that pro basketball is pushing record ratings, and Clark’s presence is a big part in that push.
She put up 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark said no to a berth in the WNBA three‑point contest. Leading up to the news, the WNBA and the players’ union discussed online harassment. Her cover appearance is an unmistakable moment for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
