The Warriors’ point guard Steph Curry and the Kings’ big man Domantas Sabonis are on the third team of the 2023–24 All-NBA squads.
Curry is the 26th player in NBA history to receive double-digit All-NBA honors. With this selection, he sets a record for the Warriors franchise with his tenth All-NBA Team selection (First Team four times, Second Team four times, and Third Team twice).

“Just an amazing accomplishment.”
After being included on the 2022–23 All-NBA Third Team, Sabonis is being selected for the second season in a row. He is the tenth player in the history of the Kings to be named to the All-NBA team twice in a row.
Not surprisingly, three of the league’s biggest names—Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves—were selected for one of the three teams.
Other important players, such as Tyrese Maxey of the Philadelphia 76ers and Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics, were left off the roster.
