Luka Doncic and Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki are NBA 2k22 cover athletes, 2K Sports announced Wednesday morning. Doncic will grace two different covers — the standard edition and cross-gen digital bundle — while Nowitzki will join Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Durant on the special edition version celebrating the NBA’s 75th anniversary.
This will be the first time a Dallas Mavericks player has been featured on not only an NBA 2K cover, but any basketball video game cover. Nowitzki was on the covers of NBA Live 07 and 08, but only for German copies. Same goes for the German version of NBA 2 Night 2002.
