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 driving record ratings, and Clark’s presence fuels much of the lift in that climb.
She tallied 26 points as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks. Clark declined a invitation in the WNBA three‑point contest. In the lead‑up, the WNBA and the players’ union raised the issue of online harassment. Her cover appearance is an obvious milestone for women’s basketball in mainstream gaming.
