It's not uncommon with NBA 2K online, especially on PC. Oftentimes it's a server issue, which unfortunately we can't do much about. Aside from that, the only things you can really troubleshoot from your end come down to the quality of the connection: Wi-Fi or Ethernet (Ethernet is better), shutting down anything in the background that's using bandwidth (on your system or anywhere else on your local network, if you have any other devices connected), and the speed you're generally getting. On PC, it's also worth temporarily removing any mods you may be using to see if there are any conflicts.
Ultimately we're all at the mercy of the quality of 2K's online service - or lack thereof - and unfortunately most of their error messages are vague or blame the end user ("There's a problem with your connection to the 2K server"). You can make sure that everything's as good as it can be from your end connection-wise and remove any possible conflicts by temporarily disabling any mods you're using, but beyond that, it comes down to 2K providing a stable online experience.
