Kawhi Leonard jumps to a 91 overall player rating in NBA 2K25

Over the last ten games, Kawhi Leonard has been exceptionally impactful, pushing the Clippers up towards the top tier of the Western Conference. During this period, his stats include an average of 25.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. He’s also been impressively accurate, making 54.7% of his field goals and 48.1% of his three-point attempts.

Over the past 20 matches, his impressive streak has occurred concurrently with the Clippers having one of the best team records in the league, boasting a 16-4 win-loss record. This record is second only to those of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics, who have each won 17 out of their last 20 games.

This season, Leonard, who has been named Finals MVP twice and Defensive Player of the Year on two occasions, is putting up an average of 21 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in his 35 appearances. His field goal percentage stands at 49.3%, while he’s hitting 40.2% of his three-point attempts.

Due to his impressive recent play, NBA 2K25 has increased Leonard’s overall player rating by +2, bumping him up to a 91. At this moment, the Los Angeles Clippers share the fourth spot in the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets, both teams holding records of 48-32.

Ja Morant receives a 92 overall

The Memphis Grizzlies have gathered momentum towards the end of the season, triumphing in three consecutive matches after parting ways with their coach who holds the most wins in franchise history, David Fizdale. Key contributor Ja Morant has been instrumental during this winning run, posting impressive averages of 31.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game, while maintaining a field goal percentage of 53.8% and a three-point shot success rate of 48%.

In an exciting finish, Morant sealed the Grizzlies’ winning streak by scoring a buzzer-beater for the game-winning shot against the Miami Heat, further cementing his reputation as one of the NBA’s most dynamic point guards.

During this season, Morant is averaging 23 points, 7.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game. He’s also managing to hit 45.5% of his shots within the court and 30.7% from beyond the arc, across 48 games he’s played so far. The Memphis Grizzlies, where Morant plays, are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference with a record of 47 wins and 32 losses, aiming to secure a playoff spot without needing to participate in the Play-In tournament.

In the game NBA 2K25, Morant’s strong comeback was recognized by increasing his total player rating by +1, elevating it to a 92.

Tyrese Haliburton climbs to a 90 overall

Tyrese Haliburton has played a crucial role in propelling the Indiana Pacers towards the playoffs, helping them secure the fourth position in the Eastern Conference with an impressive record of 48 wins against 31 losses. Over the past ten games, the Pacers have won eight and are currently on a five-game winning streak as they approach the final week of the regular season.

Over this past 10-game stretch, Haliburton has been delivering a consistent performance with an average of 19.1 points, 10.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. His shooting efficiency is impressive, making 50.8% of his shots within the field and 40% from beyond the three-point line.

This All-Star guard is performing exceptionally well during the season. On average, he scores 18.6 points, dishes out 9.2 assists, grabs 3.5 rebounds, and steals 1.5 balls per game over 72 matches. He’s also managing an impressive 47.3% field goal success rate and a 38.8% three-point shooting percentage. It’s worth mentioning that his turnover rate is at a career-best low of 9.8 turnovers for every 100 possessions.

In the game NBA 2K25, Haliburton’s consistent performance and leadership skills have been acknowledged by receiving a +1 increase in his total player rating, elevating him to a 90.
