NBA 2K26 Adds Sonia Citron’s Viral Emote In New Update [VIDEO]

The WNBA season is underway, with the players attracting a fan base, and the games are also getting much attention. While the WNBA profited from the broadcast deal too, under the earlier deal, it exploded to $3.1 billion over a massive 11-year agreement. Adding another dimension, NBA 2K26 has also upgraded its fan experience with Sonia Citron’s Emote.

Iriafen also praised Amoore’s return and said, “I think she makes a tremendous difference. She’s our floor general, a natural-born leader; she really runs our offense. She knows what to run, when to run it. She makes sure we’re in our spots. I think [the difference with her back] is night and day”
