The NBA 2K video game series has been around since 1999, but this year’s edition (NBA 2K22) is making a monumental debut.
Duke freshman Paolo Banchero is set to make an appearance in the 2K22, which makes him the first active college basketball player to be in the video game series.
This doesn’t come as too big of surprise since Banchero signed a deal with 2K Sports back in September, which promised to make the freshman a virtual character in this year’s edition. Banchero hadn’t even played in a college game at the time.
Banchero will be featured in the “Season 5: Power Within” game mode.
