NBA 2K23 - Players Added/Removed from the Game - Guide

[pjt8405]

Hey Everyone,

2K23 features a ton of new players added to classic teams, all-time teams, and of course the MYNBA ERA rosters for 1983-184, 1991-1992, & 2002-2003.

It’s Sam Jones they removed not KC. He’s off the ‘65 team too which is a shame. Probable because he died.
