Oklahoma City Thunder's Chet Holmgren Reacts to NBA 2K27 Rating

Chet Holmgren Reacts to NBA 2K27 Rating Decrease

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren has seen his NBA 2K player rating decrease from 88 to 86 this year. Despite the dip, he is still among the game's top-rated players. Last result: Oklahoma City Thunder 103-111 San Antonio Spurs (2026-05-31). Recent form (last 5): 1W-0D-4L (LLLLW, most recent first); lost the last 4.

Why the Decrease Matters for Oklahoma City Thunder

Holmgren's rating decrease may be attributed to his performance during the Western Conference Finals, where he struggled against Victor Wembanyama when the Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the San Antonio Spurs. "Yeah, I mean, I saw it at the end of the day. You know, whatever they put it at, it's up to you whether it goes up and down. So I definitely think that 2K did some rate hikes, I guess, to stop inflation. So they brought a lot of the average overall down; it definitely came down a lot. So, you know, at the end of the day, you're always trying to get your rating up," Holmgren told ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly.
