San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama expressed dissatisfaction with several of his player ratings in the upcoming NBA 2K27 video game. The 22-year-old, who appears as a cover athlete for this year's edition, specifically challenged his agility rating of 69, which he considers inaccurate for his playing style. Wembanyama also indicated that his perimeter defense rating of 78 should be higher, despite acknowledging his 99 block rating. These comments followed an interaction with Ronnie 2K regarding the game's methodology for evaluating professional players. Although his overall rating increased from 94 to 97, the disagreement highlights ongoing discussions regarding how video game developers quantify physical traits for modern NBA players. Wembanyama is coming off a 2025-26 season where he averaged 25.0 points and 3.1 blocks per game.
