2K director Ronnie was interviewed and revealed that Mavericks No. 1 pick Flag had partnered with Owen's Thick Eyebrow by playing 2K game simulation.

"I have communicated with Cooper (Frager) many times in recent weeks. He has been planning how to integrate into the team through NBA2K26 game simulations," Ronnie said. "Although I can't actually train with Irving on the same field, it's really cool to simulate running without the ball through the game. Our intelligent system is very excellent and can truly restore the actual combat experience of the court."
