NBA 2K24 is set to launch on September 8 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC consoles. Thus far, 2K has been holding most of its cards very close to its chest, only revealing a few scant details since announcing that Kobe Bryant is this year’s cover athlete. That’s all going to change very soon, as the first big info dump is coming on August 14 and will show off the improvements the team has made to gameplay. That said, the team at 2K isn’t going to miss an opportunity to tease fans and has released the day-one NBA 2K24 ratings for the top players in the league.

The whole thing gets started with reigning NBA Champion Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, who is actually rated a full two points better than any other player in 2K.
