Victor Wembanyama started the season at 94 OVR. He's now at 97. The latest NBA 2K26 player ratings update pushed Wemby to the top tier, and it's hard to argue with it. The Spurs big man has been the most unguardable force in basketball this season, doing things on both ends of the floor that no one his size has any business doing. The gap between him and the rest of the league is only growing, and 2K's ratings are finally reflecting that.
He's joined by three other notable updates in this cycle, including a long-overdue bump for Bam Adebayo after that historic 83-point night we covered earlier this month. Here's the full breakdown.
NBA 2K26 Player Ratings Update: Full Breakdown
Victor Wembanyama, C, San Antonio Spurs: 97 OVR
The alien is undeniable. Wembanyama has been the most complete two-way player in basketball this season, and 97 OVR puts him in the same conversation as Nikola Jokic and the other true elites in the game. Started the year at 94. That three-point climb across a single season tells you everything about the kind of year he's having.
Bam Adebayo gets his ratings bump after the 83-point historic performance on March 10 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts
Bam Adebayo, C, Miami Heat: 89 OVR (+1)
The 83-point game against the Wizards on March 10 was the second-highest single-game scoring total in NBA history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain's 100. His previous career high was 41. That performance alone justified a bump, and 2K delivered. Bam's been playing some of the best basketball of his career this season well beyond that one game too, and 89 OVR reflects both the body of work and the historic night.
Jalen Johnson hits 90 OVR after logging his 13th triple-double of the season in mid-March 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts
Jalen Johnson, SF, Atlanta Hawks: 90 OVR (+1)
Johnson has turned into a genuine triple-double machine this season, averaging 23 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists. His 13th triple-double of the season came in mid-March, and at this point he's not just Atlanta's best player. He's one of the most complete forwards in the entire Eastern Conference. 90 OVR feels right, and it probably isn't his ceiling for the season.
NAW jumps to 85 OVR after a career-high 41-point game, nine three-pointers, and a 10-game Hawks winning streak 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts 2K Sports, NBA 2K, Visual Concepts
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, SG, Atlanta Hawks: 85 OVR (+2)
The breakout season continues. NAW is averaging a career-high 20.3 points per game and just dropped 41 on the Magic, including nine three-pointers, to help the Hawks extend their winning streak to 10 games. The +2 bump to 85 OVR is well-earned for a player who has completely seized his opportunity in Atlanta and isn't looking back.
Two Hawks in the same ratings update is a statement about where Atlanta is right now as a team in its post-Trae Young era. Johnson and NAW are feeding off each other, and the Hawks look like a legitimate playoff threat with this duo clicking.
