After replying to zzcooolj21’s inquiry about upcoming news, EA Sports has now announced that the cover player for NBA Live 16 will be revealed tomorrow, with a post on their social media that simply states “Tomorrow. We’ve got you covered”, along with the hashtags #NBALIVE16 and #RiseTogether.

zzcoolj21 has since astutely noted that Russell Westbrook has started following the official NBA Live Twitter account, strongly hinting that he will be gracing the NBA Live 16 cover. As our own Pdub noted, the blurred-out player in the teaser image appears to be wearing a jersey with an orange trim, further suggesting Westbrook will indeed be revealed as the NBA Live 16 cover player.
We’ll be sure to post an update once the official announcement is made, and any other NBA Live 16 information comes through. In the meantime, feel free to add your thoughts in the comments section below, as well as in this thread in the Forum.
