NEW: WNBA star Angel Reese named NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition cover athlete.

In a statement, Reese said she hopes to show young girls they can "be confident, bold, and take up space unapologetically."

"Being on the cover of NBA 2K26 and debuting my first-ever signature shoe with Reebok on that cover, the Angel Reese 1, is more than a milestone — it’s a statement," she said in a press release from 2K.

"It’s about representation and showing young girls they can be confident, bold, and take up space unapologetically."

"To be cemented in NBA 2K history is a special honor that reflects not only my journey, but also all the veteran WNBA players who have paved the way before me and the growing impact of the league as a whole."
