Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi have been linked for two decades. They played basketball together at UConn and helped the U.S. Olympic women’s basketball team win five gold medals. Now the basketball greats will appear on the cover of the NBA 2K23 WNBA edition video game, which will be released on Sept. 9. It’s the second straight year that the video game will feature a WNBA athlete on one of its covers. Candace Parker was the cover athlete last year.
