Victor Wembanyama Headlines 2025-26 All-Defensive First Team
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama will head into Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night knowing he has been named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team for the second time in his career. He also earned the honor during his rookie campaign in 2023-24. The French star didn't make the cut last year after appearing in only 46 games. This season, Wembanyama was the only unanimous selection for the All-Defensive First Team. It doesn't come as a surprise, given that Wembanyama was also named the first-ever unanimous Defensive Player of the Year this season. Wembanyama led the NBA in blocks for a third consecutive campaign, swatting away 3.1 shots a night. Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves), Chet Holmgren (Oklahoma City Thunder), Ausar Thompson (Detroit Pistons), and Derrick White (Boston Celtics) were also named to the All-Defensive First Team.
