Luka Doncic was named to the All-NBA First Team for the sixth time in his eight-year career, the league announced Sunday afternoon.
Doncic, who successfully appealed the 65-game rule to become eligible for postseason awards despite only playing in 64 games during the 2025-26 season, joined Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham for first-team honors.
The All-NBA Second Team was made up of Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and Cleveland Cavaliers Donovan Mitchell.
The All-NBA Third Team included Philadelphia 76ers Tyrese Maxey, Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, Thunder center Chet Holmgren and Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren.
Doncic ended the season as the league’s scoring champion with 33.5 points per game — on 47.6 shooting from the field and 36.6% shooting from beyond the arc — along with 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game in his second year with the Lakers.
The Slovenian star recorded 14 games of 40-plus points and two games with 50-or-more points, including a 60-point showing against the Miami Heat in March, just before he suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on April 2 that ended his season — holding Doncic out of the playoffs through the Lakers’ eventual elimination in a second-round sweep to the Thunder. Doncic won Western Conference Player of the Month honors twice (November and March), the last of which coincided with the Lakers’ 15-2 record through March.
“Honestly, this season obviously didn’t end how we wanted,” Doncic said after the Lakers were eliminated in the playoffs two weeks ago. “But I feel like the last push we made in the end of the regular season, we thought we were gonna compete for a championship.”
LeBron James was ineligible for All-NBA honors for the first time in his career — breaking his league record 21-season All-NBA streak — after having only played in 60 games during the regular season, below the 65-game requirement needed for postseason award eligibility.
Austin Reaves played in just 51 games.
No other Lakers or Clippers received votes for All-NBA teams.
