Derrick Rose Lands NBA 2k Cover For Second Time in 13 Years

Derrick Rose Lands NBA 2k Cover For Second Time in 13 Years marks the return of the Chicago Bulls legend to the NBA 2K cover spotlight. Rose will appear on the cover of NBA 2K27’s Ultra Edition for the second time in his career, joining Caitlin Clark and Victor Wembanyama as the other cover athletes. The announcement from NBA 2K—via SVP & GM Zak Armitage—frames the trio as representing different eras and styles, with Rose credited for redefining the point guard role. Rose previously appeared on the NBA 2K13 cover, alongside Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant. In a release, he credited former coaches, teammates, and fans, and said the honor offers an opportunity to encourage younger athletes. NBA 2K27: Ultra Edition’s bonus details were not limited to cover placement, and the company referenced NBA 2K13’s track record, including over 5 million copies sold.
