Breanna Stewart has earned the highest rating among the New York Liberty players in the upcoming NBA 2K26 video game, securing an impressive 97 overall score. As the basketball simulation prepares for its official release in September, Stewart’s rating highlights her continued prominence within the Liberty franchise and the WNBA at large.
According to 2kratings.com, Stewart’s 97 rating places her ahead of key teammates Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, who hold 93 and 92 respectively. This ranking reflects Stewart’s elevated status as the Liberty’s top digital seafoam star and mirrors her impact on the real-life court since joining the New York team in 2023.
Context Behind Stewart’s Rating and Recent Performance
Stewart’s top rating is well-earned, considering her instrumental role in guiding the New York Liberty to their first-ever championship last season. Despite some recent struggles to meet her usual shooting efficiency, she maintains strong season averages with 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and a personal best of 3.9 assists per game. Currently sidelined due to a leg injury, Stewart will miss at least the Liberty’s upcoming matchup against the Dallas Wings.
Proudly holding the highest Liberty rating, Stewart shares the second-highest WNBA player rating in the game alongside Minnesota Lynx’s Napheesa Collier, both ranked at 97. Only Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson surpasses them with a 98 overall rating.
Team Depth Reflected in Player Ratings
The New York Liberty stand out as the only WNBA team with three players rated 90 or above in NBA 2K26, including Stewart, Ionescu, and Jones. Additional top-ranked players nearby include Caitlin Clark and Alyssa Thomas, who are positioned just ahead of Ionescu in sixth place, with Nneka Ogwumike close behind. Jones alone holds the eighth spot, demonstrating the depth of talent on the Liberty roster.
Beyond the Liberty, other notable women’s basketball stars featured in the game include Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese, who appears on the WNBA edition cover, while newly crowned NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is featured on the standard NBA version.
NBA 2K26 Release and Broader Implications
NBA 2K26 will be available starting September 5, promising fans a detailed representation of the current basketball landscape both in the WNBA and NBA. Stewart’s high rating not only celebrates her individual achievements but also signals the growing prominence and visibility of women’s basketball within mainstream gaming culture.
As the Liberty continue to build around stars like Stewart, Ionescu, and Jones, their strong representation in the game highlights the team’s competitive edge moving forward. Fans can expect continued updates on player performances, injury recoveries, and team dynamics throughout the WNBA season.
