On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark was announced as one of the three cover athletes for the upcoming release of NBA 2K27 — joining San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama and former NBA MVP Derrick Rose.
Wembanyama will be featured on the standard edition, Clark on the deluxe edition and Rose on 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," 2K executive Zak Armitage said in a statement.

"None of them have an off switch, and that same relentless drive is what defines NBA2K27."
The Indiana Fever took to social media to react to this exciting announcement for their point guard.
"NBA 2K27 Deluxe Edition Cover Athlete. Congrats to Caitlin Clark on becoming the first WNBA player to be featured on her own global cover," the team wrote.
Clark is in the midst of her third WNBA season since joining the Fever as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. Just last week, she added to her ever-growing list of WNBA accomplishments — becoming the first player in league history to record more than 40 points and 10 assists in single game.
The Fever will face off against the Connecticut Sun in their final game before the All-Star break on Wednesday night.
