The cover athlete of the NBA 2K series has not received the limelight, but it is still a very vocal issue.The cover athlete for NBA 2K23 has yet to be announced, but every year there is a lot of speculation about who will be the cover star. 

 

Last year's Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic was featured on the cover of NBA 2K22 Standard Edition and the Cross-Generation Digital Bundle. Who will be on the cover of NBA 2K23 this year? z2u.com keeps track of the latest news on the NBA 2K series and also offers safe and cheap NBA 2K23 MT for all gaming platforms.

 

In our analysis based on the 2021-2022 NBA season and other factors, we've come up with three clear choices and a long shot candidate. Below, we've listed the athletic stats for these four candidates.

 

Nikola Jokic:

Nikola Jokic has career averages of 19.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists throughout the 2021-22 season. Jokic is considered by many to be the greatest passing big man in NBA history. In his role as a playmaker, Jokic utilizes his size and vision to help his teammates score, often through a variety of blind passes and unique maneuvers. In his first MVP season, Jokic shot 0.566 from the field and 0.388 from 3-point range. His overall value makes him the best player in the NBA in 2022.
