Ronnie 2K bumps Tyrese Maxey to 93 in NBA 2K26 after playoff surge

Tyrese Maxey’s climb to a 93 overall in NBA 2K26 is the kind of ratings update that immediately changes how the Philadelphia 76ers feel in your hands. Ronnie Singh announced the jump from 86 to 93, and the reaction was big enough to underline just how seriously the community still takes every move on 2K’s ratings board.

The timing fit the basketball. Maxey helped the 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 106-93 on May 1, 2026, a win that forced a Game 7 and came on the back of a huge performance from the 24-year-old guard. For a player who was the 21st overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, that is the exact kind of postseason statement 2K has increasingly rewarded with real-time movement. The official NBA 2K26 ratings page says it is the source for in-game ratings news and updates, and Maxey’s latest bump fits that live-update model perfectly.

In practical game terms, 93 OVR pushes Maxey into a different lane than the 86 version many players had been using earlier in the cycle. In Play Now, that means the Sixers’ offense starts looking more like a true two-level attack built around a fast, hard-to-contain lead guard instead of a secondary scorer. In MyNBA, a 93-rated Maxey becomes much easier to build around as a top-end starter, especially when you are simming or playing through a season and want a guard who can carry usage without feeling like a rating project. In online matchups, the difference is even sharper: a higher-rated Maxey is the kind of card or roster piece that can punish a soft hedge, turn the corner faster, and make defenders pay when they help off the perimeter.

The update also matches the way Maxey has been tracked across the ecosystem. One ratings update post from January 8, 2026, already had him at 93 OVR, while current tracking pages now show him at 93 in standard NBA 2K26 listings and 94 OVR in MyTEAM. That split only adds to the sense that 2K keeps adjusting his value upward as his real-life production spikes.

For a player with a 2025-26 base salary listed at $37,958,760, the rating jump reinforces where Maxey sits now: not just as a rising name, but as one of the league’s fastest-moving digital assets. Ronnie Singh’s announcement turned a playoff burst into a public status change, and in NBA 2K26, that means the Sixers suddenly play like a much more dangerous team.
