NBA 2K25 to Feature Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Season 4

The Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be the spotlight player for NBA 2K25 Season 4, which begins on January 10, 2K Entertainment and Visual Concepts announced in a new Courtside Report post.

Visual Concepts previously themed a season's cosmetics around the cover athlete's signature style, but this time, the studio is celebrating Gilgeous-Alexander's performance in the current season and his status as a two-time All-Star ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend 2025.

NBA 2K25 Season 4 adds over a dozen new cosmetics to unlock as players increase their MyCareer level, including the Phoenix Suns' gorilla mascot, a banana man costume and a varsity jacket. Some rewards, such as the Drift Trike and Cap Breaker are available only in NBA 2K25's PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.

The new season also introduces several new MyTeam cards designed to improve NBA 2K25's roster depth. The headline additions are:

  • Anthony Edwards Evolution Card -- Complete challenges as Edwards to increase the card's level
  • Diamond Cole Anthony -- Obtained after reaching level 10
  • Diamond James Jones -- Obtained after reaching level 20
  • Pink Diamond Clint Capela -- Obtained after reaching level 30
  • Galaxy Opal Xavier McDaniel -- Obtained after reaching level 37
  • Dark Matter Dwyane Wade -- Obtained after reaching level 40

The reward list includes Hall of Fame badges and high-ranking card packs between these milestones, and new to this season is the chance to earn Diamond-ranked cards outside the season pass. Completing all 33 games in the new NBA Journeys Domination mode earns players six Diamond cards and a level 99 Galaxy Opal Bill Walton card. The Diamond players are:

  • Isaiah Thomas
  • Garrett Temple
  • Trevor Ariza
  • Robert Horry
  • Robin Lopez
  • Seth Curry

The W Online, NBA 2K25's women's league, is also adding a Lauren Jackson coach card as its flagship season reward.
