NBA 2K25 has released its first player ratings update for the 2024-25 season, featuring notable adjustments for three of the league's biggest stars: Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kevin Durant of the Phoenix Suns. With each update, NBA 2K aims to reflect real-life performances and reward players who have made an early impact on the season. This November, Tatum, Davis, and Durant receive significant boosts, highlighting their strong starts and hinting at impressive seasons ahead.
Jayson Tatum boost to 96 overall rating
Jayson Tatum has had an impressive start, solidifying his status among the league's elite.

He is shooting 48.3% from the field and 36.9% from beyond the arc, maintaining MVP-caliber form as the Celtics jump to a 7-2 start.
Following their recent 118-112 loss to the Golden State Warriors , Boston remains a strong contender in the East, with Tatum's performance as a key factor. In response to his dominant early-season play, NBA 2K25 has increased Tatum's player rating to 96 overall in NBA 2K25, placing him among the game's top-rated players.

Averaging 32.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.9 blocks, and 1.6 steals per game, Davis delivers both offensive firepower and defensive prowess. Shooting an efficient 57.1% from the field, Davis has emerged as a frontrunner for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
The Lakers, currently sitting at 4-4, hope to build momentum as they continue the season. Davis's early impact has earned him a rating boost to 96 overall, further emphasizing his role as one of the league's most formidable talents in NBA 2K25.
Kevin Durant increases to 95 overall
In his 17th season, Kevin Durant is proving he remains among the NBA's elite. The 36-year-old forward has started strong, averaging 27.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. Durant's offensive efficiency is remarkable, with shooting percentages of 55.1% from the field and 42% from three-point range, solidifying his status as a reliable scoring threat for the Suns.
