Here's Why Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Is In NBA 2K25
The NFL playoffs are here, which means Dak Prescott is enjoying his offseason with some golf or perhaps a family vacation. However, some NBA 2K25 players have noticed his virtual avatar is staying busy. A character model based on the quarterback was recently spotted in the audience of an NBA 2K25 game, and the topic went viral as a result, withTikToks and Reddit threads pointing out the familiar face in the stands. Some players speculated this may be a tease for 2K's rumored NFL game or games still in the works, but we can now confirm this isn't the case.
A statement from the face of the franchise, Ronnie2K, revealed to GameSpot that Prescott's presence is there to heighten the true-to-life atmosphere of the simulation game, and Prescott is one of several famous faces you might come across while you play NBA 2K25.
"NBA 2K25 features a number of celebrities sitting courtside across multiple arenas to replicate the high-energy atmosphere of a real NBA game," Ronnie2K said. "In addition to Dak Prescott, players can also spot A-list NBA fans such as Jack Harlow, Diplo, Druski, and Mark Cuban cheering on their favorite teams. Details like this elevate the in-arena experience, making it feel as if players are truly part of the action and excitement of a live NBA game."
