Wembanyama and Holmgren Lead 2025-26 All-Defensive Team
Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren were named to the NBA's 2025-26 All-Defensive First Team, joined by Derrick White, Ausar Thompson and Rudy Gobert. Wembanyama, the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, anchored the Spurs with elite shot-blocking and disruptive defense, while Holmgren helped Oklahoma City post the league's best regular-season record and finished second in DPOY voting. The Thunder also had Cason Wallace on the Second Team, making them the only club with multiple All-Defensive honorees, and Wembanyama and Holmgren are currently facing off in the Western Conference Finals with Game 3 upcoming.
