NBA 2K25 January Player Ratings Update reveals Wembanyama reaching 95 overall, while Shai leads at 98 overall.
NBA 2K has started 2025 with their latest ratings update for NBA 2K25, bringing some big changes based on how players have been performing. Victor Wembanyama stands out in this update, jumping up to a 95 overall rating, while other players across the league have also seen their ratings go up or down.
The January update shows us who’s been stepping up their game as we are halfway through the season. With All-Star voting going on and teams finding their rhythm, these rating changes give us a good look at who’s been making waves on the court.
Biggest Movers in the January Update
Victor Wembanyama has taken a huge leap from 92 to 95 overall. The Spurs rookie has been dominating games lately, putting up about 27 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, and nearly five blocks per game in the past month. These aren’t just good numbers—they’re historically good for a rookie, making him the fastest player to reach 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 150 blocks.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is now leading the MVP race, and NBA 2K has noticed. He’s moved up from 97 to 98 overall, making him one of the highest-rated players in the game. His consistent play has been a big reason for the Thunder’s success this season, establishing himself as one of the league’s elite players.
Young Stars on the Rise
De’Aaron Fox has been lighting it up for the Kings, earning an upgrade to 89 overall. His speed and scoring ability have made him one of the most exciting guards to watch. The same goes for Evan Mobley, who’s also moved up to 89 overall while helping the Cavs compete in the East.
Jaren Jackson Jr. has joined them at 89 overall, continuing to show why he was last year’s Defensive Player of the Year. His combination of scoring and defense has been crucial for the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Karl-Anthony Towns has jumped to 93 overall after showing improved play with the Knicks.
Team-by-Team Highlights
The Cavaliers have been on fire, and their ratings show it. Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen have jumped into the high 80s. The team’s success has been a group effort, with each player contributing on both ends of the turf. Allen, in particular, has moved up to 88 overall, proving himself as one of the league’s top centers.
Over in Denver, Jamal Murray is now rated 84 overall, and Russell Westbrook has earned a +2 boost to 81 overall after becoming the Nuggets’ starting point guard. Michael Porter Jr. has also seen an improvement to 83 overall, showing that the defending champs are still going strong. The team’s collective improvement has been reflected in these latest ratings.
Looking Ahead in the Season
These new ratings give us a good picture of who’s been playing well lately. As teams push for playoff spots and young players keep developing, we’ll probably see more changes in future updates. Some players who’ve been struggling might bounce back, while others who are hot right now will try to keep their momentum going.
The update also shows how much the game has changed this season. We’re seeing centers and power forwards dominate like never before, with players like Wembanyama changing how teams have to play. It’s not just about scoring anymore – these big men are doing it all on both ends of the court, and their ratings are reflecting that evolution.
