Overview

• Ronnie Singh of NBA 2K said Flagg has been running simulations with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis to map out on-court fit before training camp.
• NBA 2K26 launched Sept. 5 with upgrades such as ProPLAY, a Dynamic Motion Engine, improved off-ball movement, and refined Rhythm Shooting to better mirror real play.
• Flagg enters the game with an 82 overall rating, the highest among 2025 rookies, as he prepares for a featured role in Dallas.
• Irving is recovering from a torn ACL and is expected to miss most or all of the season, making virtual reps with him the closest near-term proxy for live minutes.
• Dallas also plans to pair Flagg with Davis, who remains an elite frontcourt anchor, as the team continues experimenting with roles and lineups.
