After the news broke that Michael Jordan would feature on the special editions of NBA 2K23, questions immediately circled the reveal of the cover star for this year’s standard editions. After an incredible season, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker has been revealed as the cover athlete for the standard and digital deluxe versions of NBA 2K23.
Booker will feature across two different covers, both of which feature the iconic orange and purple ‘Valley’ colours, for which the Phoenix Suns jerseys are well known for. The Digital Deluxe version will come with most of the goodies fans have become accustomed to, including 10K MyTeam Points and various MyTeam card packs featuring exclusive versions of both Devin Booker and Michael Jordan.
Devin Booker commented on the reveal, stating “It’s a dream come true to see myself on the cover of NBA 2K. I’ve been a huge NBA 2K fan since I was a kid, and it’s surreal to finally join the exclusive club of basketball greats who’ve been cover athletes. I’m also honoured to share this year’s covers with the iconic Michael Jordan, who changed the game for all players who came after him, as well as two of the all-time WNBA GOAT’s, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird, who continue to make a huge impact on the game.”
An additional trailer featuring the cover star also dropped, and you can check it out for yourself below.
NBA 2K23 is set to release on all major consoles on the 9th of September, 2022.
