2KDB’s April 24 update adds 28 NBA 2K26 MyTEAM cards

The late-season MyTEAM board moved again on April 24, and this was not a throwaway refresh. 2KDB’s update touched 28 cards, enough to shake auction values, change which budget lineups look playable, and force a fresh read on the cards people are actually chasing in the final stretch of Season 6.

That matters because 2KDB is not just a name in the corner of a browser tab. Its NBA 2K26 database tracks player stats, tendencies, signatures, animations, badges, evolutions, dynamic duos, drafts, lineups, and collections, so a player update there signals a real change in the card ecosystem. The site’s NBA 2K26 players page currently lists 4,960 player entries, which shows how crowded the pool has become and why a 28-card wave can still move the needle.

The timing lines up with a busy end to Season 6, which launched on Friday, April 3, 2026. 2K framed the season as anime-themed and centered it on Karl-Anthony Towns, and the April 24 refresh arrived near the end of that content run. The late-April snapshots on the all-players page show a dense cluster of cards dated April 20 and April 23, including Toni Kukoc, David Robinson, Sheryl Swoopes, Tacko Fall, Victor Wembanyama, and John Havlicek. That is the kind of name mix that gets attention from both collectors and lineup builders because it spans usable size, legacy stars, and cards that can slot into different price ranges.

The broader board shows just how active the cycle still is. The same database snapshot includes Tracy McGrady, Caitlin Clark, Thon Maker, Ben Simmons, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Scottie Pippen, LaMelo Ball, Dwight Howard, Candace Parker, Tim Duncan, A’ja Wilson, Derrick Rose, and Jimmy Butler, plus several Bracket Busters names. With NBA and WNBA cards fully integrated in MyTEAM, each addition has a wider effect than it would in a single-league mode, because mixed lineups can pull from both pools at once.

For players trying to stay ahead of the market, the practical takeaway is simple: this was a meaningful refresh, not filler. A 28-card drop in a catalog this large can change which cards get bought, which ones get dumped, and which lineups suddenly look better than they did yesterday. Late in Season 6, that is enough to keep MyTEAM watchlists busy and the meta unsettled.
