The decision to put Angel Reese on the cover of the WNBA edition of NBA2K26 was one that drew a lot of questions.

Recently, Griffin's WNBA analysis has resulted in pushback. His response to Caitlin Clark's foul on Reese in May stemmed a feud with ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, and his back-and-forth with Reese's family comes less than two months later.

WNBA fans expressed their displeasure on Wednesday as 2K Games announced that Angel Reese will have the WNBA edition cover of NBA 2K26.

The Chicago Sky forward was named the cover athlete for the NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition video game coming out in September.

Of course Clark’s biggest rival in the league is Angel Reese, who along with Clark was one of the biggest stars in college basketball during her time at LSU. Their rivalry has continued on to the WNBA where Reese plays for the Chicago Sky, but there’s not really any doubt that she’s a distant second behind Clark when it comes to star power.

Angel Reese tells PEOPLE during an exclusive interview the 'little girl' in her is 'proud' as she is revealed as the NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition cover star.

Reese took her rebound total to 244 after she hauled in 11 boards during Wednesday's 87-76 win over the Dallas Wings. She is the league's runaway leader in total rebounds for the second year running -- but even her 167 defensive rebounds are five higher than the next closest player, Azura Stevens, has collected overall.
