          Jaylen Brown has risen to 93 OVR in the latest ratings refresh of NBA 2K26. He continues to power a successful Boston Celtics offense, rising to the occasion after Jayson Tatum's injury last season. In the last two weeks alone, Brown contributed 31 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.

          He's not the only player to push the team to new heights. The Celtics gained a total of 16 points across 10 athletes in this update with only a single player having points deducted from his tally.

          Two winners from the previous refresh -- Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes and Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg -- have continued on their upward trajectory. Barnes added another point to reach 88 OVR, while Flagg gained three points for a new rating of 83.

          LeBron James went a different direction over the last two weeks, dropping down to 92 OVR after losing two points. LeBron is one of the few top players who had their points reduced, with Ja Morant being the other most notable athlete whose fortunes sank. The Memphis Grizzlies star lost three points and now stands at 86 OVR.
