Fresh off his move to the Los Angeles Lakers, dominant big man Anthony Davis makes his second appearance on the cover of NBA 2K. A six-time NBA all-star and three-time All-NBA First Teamer, Davis has the resume of a repeat cover athlete. His teaming up with LeBron James in Los Angeles should only increase his profile.
“I’m honored to be back representing NBA 2K,” Davis said in a press statement. “Being picked as the face of NBA 2K20 means the world to me, and I’m excited for the fans to experience the best sports simulation in the world this fall.”
Given the months of rumors pointing to Davis leaving the New Orleans Pelicans, the NBA 2K20 covers smartly hide the team jersey:
