Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the NBA 2K26 headliner, the cover guy, the MVP highlighted as the face of the sport. But there's a player on the cover of the game twice, and it's not SGA.

Al Horford is reportedly weighing retirement as one of the few remaining unrestricted free agents on the NBA market, according to The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach.
