Following two big days of announcements by 2K regarding cover athletes for NBA 2K23, they have now announced that Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker will grace the Standard Edition and Digital Deluxe Edition. The NBA 2K23 Devin Booker covers celebrate what a rise the three-time NBA All-Star has had since bursting onto the scene and becoming a franchise leader for the Suns.
“It’s a dream come true to see myself on the cover of NBA 2K,” said Devin Booker. “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 honored 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.”
Along with Devin Booker gracing the cover of the Standard and Digital Deluxe Edition, Michael Jordan has already been announced for the Michael Jordan Edition and Championship Edition. Furthermore, WNBA stars Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi had been revealed for the GameStop-exclusive WNBA Edition in the US and Canada.
