NBA 2K20 to Crown Anthony Davis and Dwayne Wade as this Year’s Cover Stars

2K announced on Monday that New Orleans Pelicans’ Anthony Davis and former Miami Heat player Dwayne Wade are set to be the cover athletes for NBA 2K20.

Davis, six-time NBA All-Star, three-time All-NBA First Team, three-time NBA All-Defensive Team and 2012 Olympic gold medalist, graces the cover of the Standard and Deluxe Editions of NBA 2K20. This is his first solo cover appearance since sharing the spotlight with Steph Curry and James Harden of the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, respectively, for NBA 2K16.

Wade, three-time NBA Champion, 13-time NBA All-Star, 2008 Olympic gold medalist and 2006 NBA Finals MVP, will be featured on the cover of the Legend Edition of NBA 2K20. This is his first cover appearance on an NBA 2K game and a fitting end to his basketball career with the Miami Heat.

“I’ve been blessed to spend the last 16 years of my life playing the game I love at the highest level, and to culminate my career by joining NBA greats as an NBA 2K Legend Edition cover star makes me incredibly proud,” Wade said. “My family and I love NBA 2K, and I’m truly grateful to all of the fans who have watched me, and played as me, throughout the years.”

NBA 2K20 releases Sept. 6 on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
