One Season into NBA 2K26 and the community has wasted no time combining NBA and WNBA players for some unique lineups; whether it’s clips or screenshots, we love what we’re seeing in the early going. For Season 2, we’re rolling out even more NBA and WNBA cards for you to collect and insert into your lineups. From high-flying forwards and floor-extending big men, to crafty guards and savvy coaches, collect them all and maximize their talent with complementary players.
The Portland Trail Blazers athletic forward broke out last season with 18.5 points per game and looks poised to make another leap in 2025-2026. Start your MyTEAM rewards track with the Level 1 Evolution Shaedon Sharpe evo card and give your team a lift offensively. Complete challenges to increase Sharpe’s rating from an 85 OVR to an 89 OVR.
A former All-Star and Most Improved Player of the Year, Goran Dragić played with tenacity as a strong slasher and down-hill finisher. The 15-year veteran also thrived in the pick-and-roll, with the ability to hurt defenses from behind the arc or in the paint. Coupled with a rangy power forward, Dragić can shred even the best MyTEAM lineups.
The longest tenured player in Miami Heat history, Udonis Haslem earned a wealth of experience and displayed a high basketball IQ during his 20 seasons in the league. In his prime, the 6’8”, 235-pound forward was a menace on defense and on the glass. Haslem played with force and stayed rooted against his assignments in the post.
Starting as a video coordinator with the Miami Heat, Erik Spoelstra climbed the ranks and became the team’s head coach in 2009. In his 17 seasons at the helm, Coach Spo has led the franchise to two NBA Finals championships, and most recently led the team to the NBA Finals in 2023. Use the Level 28 Diamond Coach Erik Spoelstra card to deploy a tactical strategy and a championship mindset.
Joe Johnson, aka Iso Joe, was a smooth operator and certified bucket for almost two decades. The weight of the moment didn’t matter, Joe stayed cool and delivered in the clutch time and time again. Suit up with Level 30 Diamond Joe Johnson and use his effortless handles to create separation and drain silky shots.
Chicago Sky legend and four-time WNBA All-Star Courtney Vandersloot is the epitome of a floor general. Throughout her career, Vandersloot has drawn comparisons to former NBA legend Steve Nash due to her elite court vision and pinpoint passing. Let Level 35 Pink Diamond Courtney Vandersloot run the point for your MyTEAM squad and set your teammates up for success.
Eleven consecutive All-Star selections, two NBA championships, and more than 17,000 career points, Chris Bosh retired as one of the most prolific power forwards in the modern era. Bosh possessed a rare combination of speed, explosiveness, and finesse for a power forward. His two-way versatility made him a threat at both ends of the floor and a matchup nightmare on a loaded “Heatles” team. Stretch the floor with Level 40 Pink Diamond Chris Bosh and lead your team to victory.
