With NBA 2K26 on the horizon, 2K has once again managed to create intense hype around their basketball project. Following the NBA 2K26 roadmap reveal, fans have already started counting down the days to the game’s full release.
While official sources remain silent after revealing the roadmap, some third-party sources have fueled the hype further by leaking notable player ratings. These include entire rosters of both the Lakers and the Knicks. That said, let’s see where stars like LeBron and Brunson land in the ratings.
NBA 2K26 Lakers Player Ratings: Lebron, Luka, And More
2kratings has provided fans with player ratings for the Lakers team. Although they don’t claim these as official ratings, they are a name of trust in the NBA universe. Most of their previous leaks have ended up hitting the bullseye, so we believe that these will be accurate as well.
According to them, the Lakers roster will look like this in NBA 2K26:
- LeBron James – 96
- Luka Dončić – 96
- Austin Reaves – 87
- Deandre Ayton – 83
- Rui Hachimura – 81
- Marcus Smart – 79
- Jaxson Hayes – 78
- Jarred Vanderbilt – 77
- Gabe Vincent – 77
- Dalton Knecht – 77
- Jake LaRavia – 76
- Maxi Kleber – 72
- Christian Koloko – 72
- Bronny James – 68
If you haven’t already noticed, some athletes are missing from this list. Since the site lacked sufficient data, novice Adou Thiero, Eric Dixon, and Chris Manon are not included.
Knicks Roster In NBA 2K26
Coming to the Knicks, a die-hard fan account, “SleeperKnicks” on X, has leaked the team’s roster. According to them, this is the Knicks roster in the new game:
- Brunson – 93
- Towns – 93
- Anunoby – 87
- Bridges – 86
- Hart – 84
- Robinson – 80
- Clarkson – 80
- Yabusele – 79
- McBride – 78
- Kolek – 74
- Hukporti – 70
- Dadiet – 69
- McCullar – 69
If these ratings are accurate, then the Knicks fans will be pleased. The team appears to be well-rounded, with high-rated players all across the board. This roster also perfectly reflects the evolution of Jalen Brunson, who previously had a 70 OVR rating in NBA 2K19 but now leads the team with a 93 OVR.
That said, this is everything we currently know about the player ratings. Although promising, these rosters are yet to be confirmed by 2K itself. Until that happens, take these ratings with a grain of salt. I would also recommend marking your calendars for the roadmap reveals, so you don’t miss out when the ratings are actually released.
