Kyrie Irving is one of the most exciting players to play with in NBA 2K, but his latest rating in NBA 2K23 isn’t his best. He has developed a reputation for missing more games than he has played, and his rating has inevitably taken a hit. He is currently rated 89 in NBA 2K23, a three-point decline from his 92 rating in 2K22.
Regardless of his overall rating, Irving is still one of the most fun players to equip in NBA 2K. His wide range of dribbling moves and his extensive layup package make him unstoppable on offense. He is also one of the fastest guards to play with and can complement any built team with his stellar playmaking and 3-point shooting.

He has yet to surpass his highest mark (93), and based on his recent behavior, that is not likely. He has missed more games than he has played in his Nets’ tenure. Recent reports suggest that the team isn’t willing to offer him a maximum extension unless they get assurances that he will play games.
Due to his controversial, unvaccinated status, Irving laced up just 29 times last season. This year marks the first time he has fallen below the 90 threshold in six years. If he plays most of the season and continues to put up his numbers, his rating in NBA 2K23 is bound to increase.
