Overview

  • The NBA announced the 2025-26 All‑NBA teams on Monday, May 25, and Brunson was named to the Second Team for a third consecutive season after averaging about 26.0 points and 6.8 assists in the regular season.
  • Vote tallies show Brunson received 49 second-team votes, 50 third-team votes, and one voter left him off the ballot.
  • Karl‑Anthony Towns was a notable omission, finishing as the 17th-highest vote getter with one second-team vote and 11 third-team votes and not making any All‑NBA roster.
  • Knicks coach Mike Brown praised Brunson’s consistency and noted Brunson received no MVP votes despite Brown pushing his case to voters.
  • The Knicks sit one win from the NBA Finals and Brunson has said the team is focused on getting better; the All‑NBA honors cover only regular-season play and can affect players’ legacy and contract discussions.
