Among all players, Rockets star Kevin Durant checks in at No. 10 on NBA 2K\u2019s newly released ratings list for its upcoming NBA 2K26 edition.<\/p>\n

Houston Rockets<\/a> stars Amen Thompson and Alperen Sengun are both top-40 players<\/a>, and even at 37 years old, Kevin Durant could still be a top-10 player.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the view of developers with the popular NBA 2K video game franchise, who announced Thursday<\/a> that Durant (rated 93 on a scale going up to 100) came in with the league\u2019s No. 10 overall rating.<\/p>\n
