Garnett joins other legendary NBA 2K21 Dark Matters cards as part of the Age of Heroes release. That included the legendary Michael Jordan and young phenom Zion Williamson, both of whom had high-rated cards released in the past few weeks.
To get the KG card, gamers can try to randomly acquire it through the IDOLS packs or boxes at the Pack Market. Additionally, head over to the Auction House where Big Ticket’s card will likely have a big price tag, but gamers with big bankrolls should be OK to add KG.
