The developer, Visual Concepts, has yet to provide detailed explanations for these omissions, which have left many gamers and fans speculating about potential licensing issues or strategic changes.</p><p>On a positive note, Visual Concepts added Goran Dragic and Frank Kaminsky <a href="https://x.com/PTsports84/status/1831198580910047683" rel="noopener">back to the roster with a Tuesday, September 3 update</a>, showing that they are actively making changes to the game’s lineup.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">NBA players officially removed from 2K25:</p><p>– John Wall<br>– Blake Griffin<br>– Andre Iguodala<br>– Goran Dragic<br>– Serge Ibaka<br>– Meyers Leonard<br>– Will Barton<br>– Noah Vonleh<br>– Dewayne Dedmon<br>– Frank Kaminsky<br>– Rodney McGruder<br>– JaMychal Green<br>– Nerlens Noel</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/PTsports84?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PTsports84</a>) <a href="https://t.co/ZnjUt7lnBE">pic.twitter.com/ZnjUt7lnBE</a></p><p>— Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) <a href="https://twitter.com/LegionHoops/status/1831092287222489240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 3, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><h2><b>John Wall’s absence in NBA 2K25 leaves Wizards without iconic duo, missing out on prime Bradley Beal partnership</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Washington-Wizards-guard-Bradley-Beal-3-celebrates-with-Wizards-guard-John-Wall-2-in-the-final-seconds-against-the-Golden-State-Warriors-in-the-fourth-quarter-at-Verizon-Center.jpg"><figcaption>© Geoff Burke-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>John Wall’s absence from NBA 2K25 is particularly impactful, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-john-walls-recent-mixtape-fans-calling-return">especially as he attempts a comeback into the league</a> after last playing for the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2022-23 season. Known for his electrifying speed and playmaking abilities, Wall is missing from iconic seasons like the 2010-11 and 2016-17 Washington Wizards, where he was in his prime. Notably, the 2016-17 team nearly made the Eastern Conference Finals, largely thanks to the synergy between Wall and his backcourt partner, Bradley Beal. Last year, Wall was rated as a 78 overall free agent and included in the MyNBA eras during the LeBron era and the Wizards’ all-time team. His exclusion removes a fan-favorite and diminishes the historical depth of the game.</p><p>Wall’s gameplay, characterized by swift drives to the basket and exceptional passing, made him a staple in strategy formulation for players looking to exploit fast-paced offensive tactics. His dynamic presence on the court complemented Bradley Beal’s sharpshooting, creating one of the most formidable backcourts in the NBA during that period.</p><h2><b>Blake Griffin’s departure in NBA 2K25 disrupts ‘Lob City’  era with Chris Paul</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Los-Angeles-Clippers-forward-Blake-Griffin-32-and-guard-Chris-Paul-3-reacts-after-a-play-against-the-Boston-Celtics-in-the-second-half-at-TD-Garden.-The-Clippers-defeated-the-Celtics-119-106.jpg"><figcaption>© David Butler II-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-blake-griffin-retirement-announcement">Blake Griffin’s retirement seems to have influenced his absence</a> from NBA 2K25, particularly from the 2013-14 Los Angeles Clippers roster. Known for the ‘Lob City’ era, these Clippers were among the most entertaining teams to play in NBA 2K due to their dynamic, above-the-rim style, powered significantly by the iconic duo of Griffin and Chris Paul. Griffin, who was featured as a 75 overall free agent in NBA 2K24 and a fixture on the franchise’s all-time team, leaves a gap that drastically changes the gameplay experience for that team.</p><p>His powerful dunks and strong post plays were pivotal in the Clippers’ gameplay strategy, providing both scoring and spectacular visual gameplay elements that enhanced the playability and appeal of the game. The partnership with Chris Paul was particularly notable during the 2010s, as Paul’s adept playmaking and alley-oop passes to Griffin became a hallmark of Clippers basketball. This synergy not only defined an era for the franchise but also made the team a favorite for gamers, who enjoyed recreating their high-energy, fast-paced offense in NBA 2K. The absence of this dynamic partnership in NBA 2K25 notably diminishes the authenticity and excitement of playing as the Clippers during the ‘Lob City’ years.</p><h2><b>Iguodala’s omission weakens Warriors’ dynasty </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Golden-State-Warriors-forward-Kevin-Durant-35-celebrates-with-forward-Andre-Iguodala-9-and-guard-Klay-Thompson-11-after-game-three-of-the-2017-NBA-Finals-against-the-Cleveland-Cavaliers-at-Quicken-Loa.jpg"><figcaption>© Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Andre Iguodala, another notable omission in NBA 2K25, was crucial to the Golden State Warriors’ championship runs in 2015 and 2017. His strategic defense and timely scoring made him a valuable player in those seasons, reflected in his last rating as a 74 overall free agent and his presence in the all-time 76ers team. The 2016-17 season was particularly significant for the Warriors as they integrated Kevin Durant into a star-studded lineup that included Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, forming one of the best teams of all-time following their 73-win season the year prior.</p><p>Without Iguodala, recreating the Warriors’ championship strategies in MyNBA Eras will lack a layer of authenticity. His role, especially during critical playoff games, where his defensive stops and clutch performances were often game-changers, is irreplaceable in simulations that aim to capture the essence of the Warriors’ championship tactics. The 2016-17 Warriors not only showcased a high-powered offensive onslaught but also a strategic defensive setup where Iguodala played a key part.</p><p>His ability to guard multiple positions and execute in high-pressure moments was integral to the Warriors’ success, especially in complementing the dynamic offensive talents of Curry, Durant, and Thompson. Andre Iguodala’s absence from this legendary roster in NBA 2K25 is a significant loss, detracting from the game’s ability to fully replicate one of the most dominant seasons in NBA history.</p><h2><b>Serge Ibaka’s exclusion weakens Thunder’s young trio and Raptors’ championship defense</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Oklahoma-City-Thunder-forward-Serge-Ibaka-9-talks-with-guard-Russell-Westbrook-0-and-with-forward-Kevin-Durant-35-against-the-San-Antonio-Spurs.jpg"><figcaption>© Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Serge Ibaka’s exclusion in NBA 2K25 is equally significant. A key player in the 2011-12 Oklahoma City Thunder and the 2018-19 Toronto Raptors, Ibaka was instrumental in both teams. His presence allowed users to experience the Thunder’s young trio of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden at their nascent best and relive the Raptors’ historic championship run. Rated as a 73 overall free agent in NBA 2K24, Ibaka’s defensive prowess and mid-range shooting are missed in these rosters.</p><p>He was not only a defensive anchor but also a reliable scorer from mid-range and beyond, providing spacing for star teammates and bolstering the team’s defensive lineup. Serge Ibaka’s ability to alter shots and rebound effectively added a critical dimension to gameplay, making teams like the Thunder and Raptors not only challenging to play against but also historically accurate in any NBA 2K25 simulation.</p><h2><b>Fans are eager for potential NBA 2K25 roster updates </b></h2><p>The reasoning behind these omissions has not been officially addressed by Visual Concepts, the game’s developer. These absences could be due to licensing issues, changes in player status, or other operational decisions. This affects the game’s depth, especially for those who enjoy the MyNBA Eras mode that allows players to relive historical NBA seasons with accurate rosters.</p><p>It is unclear whether these players will return in future updates of NBA 2K25, but their current exclusion is a significant disappointment for fans looking forward to engaging with these iconic players and teams. As NBA 2K25 rolls out its official launch on Friday, September 6, it will be interesting to see how the community’s feedback might influence any further changes to the game’s roster.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Wall was one of the flashiest and most explosive point guards among all other prospects. He immediately made an impact on the court with his individual performances in the 2010-11 NBA season.</p><p>He nearly won the NBA Rookie of the Year award, placing second only behind Blake Griffin. Had Griffin played in the year he was drafted, Wall might’ve been named the Rookie of the Year. During his inaugural season, the Wizards rookie averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game. Wall was producing efficient numbers for a point guard in his first year.</p><p>Unfortunately, the team that surrounded him couldn’t maximize his potential. The 2010-11 Wizards ended the regular season with a 23-59 record, placing 13th in the Eastern Conference. With a lack of talent and a support system for a few years, it wasn’t until the 2013-14 season that the Wizards made the playoffs under Wall’s era.</p><p>The 2013-14 Wizards finally hit their stride as they finished the season with an improved 44-38 record, securing the fifth seed in the East. They beat the Chicago Bulls in the first round and won the series within five games. Sadly, they lost to the Indiana Pacers in the second round but not without a fight.

He made 34 appearances for the team before they traded him to the Houston Rockets in February of that year, although the Rockets waived him just three days later. In his last NBA season, Wall posted his lowest averages in his career, logging 11.4 points and 5.2 assists on shooting splits of 40.7% from the field and 30.3% from three.

The former NBA point guard made it known that he desires to return to the league, no matter what role he may take on. Many would argue that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/john-wall-makes-honest-admission-on-returning-to-the-nba">Wall could still perform</a> at a high level, considering how he was just on a roster over a year ago. And for diehard fans of the 33-year-old, it would be a treat to see the former Washington Wizards star showcase his tricks once again.</p><h2><b>John Wall makes a bold claim</b></h2><p>Speaking of the Wizards, Wall recently <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1805738762099466703" rel="noopener">appeared on an episode</a> of Podcast P, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. Engaging in discourse with his former teammate Paul George, the point guard was asked by George if he considers himself the greatest Washington player of all time.</p><p>“I know we had Gil (Gilbert Arenas) here earlier in the season and he mentioned that he would give the nod to you as being the greatest Wizard of all time,” George said to Wall. “Do you feel that way yourself?”</p><p>“It’s funny bro because I do,” Wall answered. “I know how much Gil means to the city and how he embraced the community the same way I did. I feel like I’m that guy, you know what I mean? Just for going number one (in the draft) and being there, embracing the city the way I did, the way they’re embracing me, I definitely call myself the greatest Wizard.”</p><p>George also asked Wall if the latter’s number two jersey should be retired by the Wizards, and the idea was something the point guard assented to.</p><p>“That would be something I would love man,” Wall said. “For my family, I would love that. For the team that drafted me number one, that would be great. I think for the city, they would love that and embrace that for sure.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Paul George: “You feel like number 2 should be hung in the rafters in DC?”</p><p>John Wall: “For damn sure, my jersey should be in the rafters bro!” </p><p>John Wall calls himself the greatest Wizards player of all time 💯 </p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/PodcastPShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PodcastPShow</a>)<a href="https://t.co/USqzRMoDfL">pic.twitter.com/USqzRMoDfL</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1805738762099466703?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 25, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>A Washington Wizards icon</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/John-Wall-poses-for-a-portrait-during-Washington-Wizards-media-day.jpg"><figcaption>© Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Wall’s responses may cause varying opinions, considering how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-10-greatest-players-in-franchise-history-ranked">the Wizards were also graced</a> with players such as Elvin Hayes and the late Wes Unseld. Nevertheless, Wall has quite the resume himself.</p><p>The speedy guard played a total of nine seasons for the Wizards, appearing in the All-Star Game five times and being named to the All-NBA Third Team and the All-Defensive Second Team at different points of his career.</p><p>Wall had his best season during Washington’s 2016-17 campaign, averaging a double-double of 23.1 points and 10.7 assists per game. During the playoffs, he took it up a notch, putting up 27.2 points an outing in 13 games. The Wizards made the second round of the playoffs, ending their season with a tightly fought, seven-game series against the Boston Celtics.</p><p>All in all, Wall averaged 18.7 points and 8.9 assists throughout his Washington tenure.</p><p>As good as his accolades are, Wall is remembered more for his electrifying highlights on the floor. His athleticism and craftiness with the ball resulted in acrobatic finishes at the rim, monster blocks, and bursts of speed that seemed inhuman. John Wall is a Washington Wizards icon, and will always have a special place in the hearts of DC sports fans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
