It’s a new season and the Los Angeles Clippers are stacked in NBA 2K26, boasting star power, veteran depth, and future potential. After coming off a promising real-world 2020–21 postseason pace, where they made it to their first-ever Western Conference Finals, the Clippers remain one of the most intriguing teams on 2K’s digital hardwood.

This isn’t just a top-heavy squad. The Clippers’ depth is fire. Players like Bradley Beal (83 OVR), Chris Paul (80 OVR), and Bogdan Bogdanovic (80 OVR) add playmaking, shooting, and clutch-time experience. The versatility of this second unit gives you major flexibility in MyNBA or online matchups.

Incoming rookies: Watchlist players
The Clippers also have two rookies who’ll likely be added to future 2K updates:
Yanic Konan Niederhauser — Switzerland | Center | 7’0″ | Penn State | 30th Pick
Kobe Sanders — United States | SG/SF | 6’9″ | Nevada | 50th Pick
Neither have official 2K ratings yet, but their heights and profiles suggest they could be versatile role players in MyLEAGUE or MyNBA.
How to use the Clippers in NBA 2K26
You’ve got two top-tier perimeter threats in Kawhi and Harden, an inside bruiser in Zubac, and enough shooting to space every inch of the halfcourt. Use pick-and-rolls to exploit mismatches, and don’t sleep on Collins’ ability to pop after a screen or run toward the rim.
Looking for bench depth? Beal can run ISO-heavy second units, and Derrick Jones Jr. has vertical spacing for days with his 94 dunk rating. That’s a filthy lob target if you get out on the break.
The Clippers in NBA 2K26 are a mix of star power, experience, and high IQ ball movement. While their rebounding may be a weakness, everything else is on point. Whether you’re grinding MyNBA, competing in REC/ProAm, or challenging friends head-to-head, LA’s other team is built to get buckets and close games.
