NBA 2K20: Anthony Davis, Dwyane Wade Covers, Release Date, Trailer and Details

Two of the greatest talents in NBA history have landed on the NBA 2K20 covers. 

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis—a six-time All-Star, three-time All-NBA first team member and 2012 Olympic gold medalist—will be featured on the Standard and Deluxe editions. 

Former Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade—a 13-time All-Star, three-time NBA champion and 2008 Olympic gold medalist who retired in April following a stellar 16-year career—is the face of the Legend edition. 

NBA 2K20 will become available on Friday, Sept. 6 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC. It will be available for Google Stadia following its launch in November. Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times noted "Davis is wearing a Pelicans uniform on the cover but folding his arms around a basketball to hide their logo. Davis will be wearing a Lakers uniform on the cover when the game is released worldwide."

Both players made comments about their cover inclusions.

"I'm honored to be back representing NBA 2K," Davis said in a press release. The Lakers big man was featured on the NBA 2K16 cover alongside other superstars. "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."

Wade added: "I've been blessed to spend 16 years of my life playing the game I love at the highest-level, and to culminate my career by joining NBA greats as an NBA 2K Legend Edition cover star makes me incredibly proud.

"My family and I love NBA 2K, and I'm truly grateful to all of the fans who have watched me, and played as me, throughout the years."
