When the blockbuster trade centered around Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas was completed on Tuesday, fans of the hit video game franchise NBA 2K wondered when they will change the looks of the two players, wearing their new uniforms, in its latest installment.
The developers from 2K Sports wasted no time as they immediately worked on the two characters in the game. Only a day after the deal was finalized, they have already released Thomas’ first look in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ jersey.

The NBA 2K18 team is also expected to release his ratings anytime soon, which will add to the hype of its release scheduled next month. Their quick action also goes to show that they are dedicated in making the video game as realistic as possible, and even up to date with all transactions that could affect it.
The deal came as a shock to many as the two rivals in the Eastern Conference were not expected to be trade partners. However, it still pushed through, and now they both hope that the move will pay dividends for their cause. It may have been a surprise move to many, but it proves how unpredictable the league is, and also adds to what has been one of the most unpredictable offseason in recent memory.
