NBA 2K26 has released its latest ratings update, and several rising stars have gained ground after strong recent play. The changes reflect real production across the league, with the biggest jumps coming from Donovan Mitchell, Cade Cunningham and Jalen Johnson.
Mitchell reaches a new high with 94 OVR
Donovan Mitchell continues to provide elite scoring for the Cleveland Cavaliers. His final stretch took him to an OVR of 94, one point higher. Mitchell has averaged 32.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists over the past two weeks. The numbers correspond to the best pace of his career, and the play now reflects that increase.
Cleveland saw more movement in this update. Jarrett Allen climbed to 85 OVR, while Evan Mobley dropped one point to 88. De’Andre Hunter, Jaylon Tyson and others also improved.
Cunningham climbs after huge triple-double
Cade Cunningham also rose one point to an OVR of 93. His jump follows a huge triple-double: 46 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, five steals and two blocks. At just 24 years old, he continues to rise.
Detroit had several upgrades. Jalen Duren moved to 87 OVR after a three-point increase. Daniss Jenkins had the biggest jump for the Pistons, climbing nine points to 79 OVR.
Jalen Johnson continues breakthrough rise
Jalen Johnson’s stock has risen faster than almost anyone else in the league. At launch, he barely managed to crack the top 100 player list. Since then he has risen four points and gained two more in this update. He now sits at an 87 OVR for Atlanta. Johnson has played an important role with Trae Young out, and 2K has rewarded that growth.
Young Hawks teammate Kon Knueppel also jumped to 82 OVR after a three-point boost.
Notable movers across the league
Devin Booker rose to 93 OVR, Tyrese Maxey reached 90 OVR and Paolo Banchero dropped one point to 89. Lauri Markkanen moved to 88 OVR, while Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes both improved.
Rookies and role players also saw big shifts. Grayson Allen rose four points to 82 OVR, Derik Queen rose six points to 80 and Brandon Williams rose four points to 77.
The update shows how quickly the competition can change. Strong pieces continue to push young players forward, and NBA 2K26 continues to reflect that movement.
