With the 2025 NBA All-Star Game just two weeks away, anticipation is rising as the league’s top players prepare to showcase their skills in San Francisco. As the season reaches its midway point, NBA 2K25 has revealed its latest player ratings update, featuring notable boosts for basketball legends and rising stars.
LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, continues to defy age and expectations. The Los Angeles Lakers forward saw his rating climb to 96 OVR (+1) after averaging 23.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over the past two weeks. The four-time NBA Champion’s stellar play includes 9.6 assists per game, ranking third-best in the league during this stretch. Adding to his legendary résumé, James recently became just the second player in NBA history to record a triple-double at age 40 or older.
DeMar DeRozan, now suiting up for the Sacramento Kings, has made an instant impact. His steady 21.3 points per game career average has remained consistent in Sacramento, but a recent scoring surge has propelled his rating to 87 OVR (+1). Over the last two weeks, DeRozan has averaged 25.1 points per game, helping the Kings win seven of their last 10 games.
Meanwhile, Miami Heat rookie Kel’el Ware is making waves in his debut season. Selected No. 15 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Ware has quickly earned a larger role, starting in four consecutive games. His 13.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game over the past two weeks have led to a significant 6-point ratings boost to 80 OVR (+6).
With the NBA 2K25 ratings reflecting their on-court dominance, James, DeRozan, and Ware are proving their worth as the league’s brightest stars continue to shine.
