Who appears on the WNBA cover of NBA 2K24?

Sabrina Ionescu appears on the WNBA cover of NBA 2K24.

Ionescu was selected as the cover athlete for the WNBA Edition, a GameStop-exclusive physical edition sold in the United States and Canada. The standard and Black Mamba editions of NBA 2K24 instead feature the late Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant, which is why cover questions about the game can have different correct names depending on the edition.

The choice highlighted Ionescu’s status as one of the WNBA’s leading young stars. The New York Liberty guard was a 2022 WNBA All-Star, earned All-WNBA Second Team honors that season, and was the NCAA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles when the edition was announced.

NBA 2K24 also marked the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Its WNBA edition followed earlier efforts to give women’s basketball dedicated cover representation, while Ionescu’s selection helped connect the game’s anniversary celebration with the league’s next generation of stars.
