Jaylen Brown’s stellar 2025-26 season was recognized Sunday night with his second career All-NBA selection.
The Boston Celtics star received Second-Team All-NBA honors alongside Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Cade Cunningham, Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic were named to the First Team.
Here’s a look at the full voting results, with Brown finishing as the top vote-getter on the Second Team.
With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) out until March 6, Brown embraced his role as Boston’s No. 1 option. The five-time All-Star posted career bests in points per game (28.7), rebounds per game (6.9), and assists per game (5.1).
In what was expected to be a “gap year” for the C’s, Brown led his team to a 56-26 record and the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Brown finished sixth in the NBA MVP race with four fourth-place votes and seven fifth-place votes. Although the Celtics’ run ended with a disappointing first-round playoff exit, Brown called it his “favorite season” of his 10-year NBA career.
Even after his outstanding season, there are question marks surrounding Brown’s future in Boston. The Celtics have been linked to Giannis Antetokounmpo in trade rumors, and any deal for the Milwaukee Bucks superstar would likely require Brown being shipped out of town.
During a recent Twitch stream, Brown made it clear that he’d prefer to remain with the C’s.
“I love Boston. And if it was up to me, I could play in Boston for the next 10 years,” he said.
Brown last earned Second-Team All-NBA honors in 2022-23, when he finished with 26.6 points per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor.
