Sabrina Ionescu to Grace Cover of NBA 2K24 WNBA Edition

2K has just revealed the cover athlete for the WNBA Edition of NBA 2K24, and it’s none other than Sabrina Ionescu from the New York Liberty!

The game is set to release in September, and this edition specifically highlights the incredible talent of WNBA players. Last year, they featured Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird on the cover, and in 2021, it was Candace Parker who took the spotlight for the WNBA’s 25th Anniversary Edition.

However, not everyone is thrilled with the choice of Ionescu for the cover. Some fans took to Twitter to express their opinions, arguing that there might be other players more deserving of the honor.

One fan said, “I’m not a seasoned WNBA fan and I marginally keep an eye on the Liberty…but Sabrina isn’t the best player on her own team. I love her but is this a good idea?”

While another wrote, “Good for her but like…she’s not the face of the league. Y’all couldn’t have gotten A’ja like what.”

Another user Tweeted, “Excuse me?! No. Nuh-uh. No offense to Sabrina, all offense to NBA 2K, but this isn’t it.”

Despite the controversy, Ionescu has quite the resume. She holds the record for the most triple-doubles in NCAA history and has been selected for the WNBA All-Star game two years in a row. While opinions may differ, there’s no denying her talent and impact on the court.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of NBA 2K24 WNBA Aniversary Edition, which promises an exciting gaming experience, showcasing the skills of one of the WNBA’s brightest stars, Sabrina Ionescu.
