All-NBA team of players who were not justified due to games

The three all-NBA teams were announced for the 2024-25 season on Friday. From last season, the league initiated a 65-game rule for the main prizes. This resulted in many remarkable players this year that they were out of the question for all-NBA because the games were not achieved. Here is an all-NBA team of players who were not justified. Without the new minimum games that have played a rule, these five might have found their way in an all-NBA team (or at least received a few votes). Anyone who played less than 41 games was not taken into account. Sorry for Paolo Banchero, Jaylen Brown, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving and yes Morant because he was only shy to be listed.

All-NBA team of players who were not justified due to games

Anthony Davis – Los Angeles Lakers/Dallas Mavericks

At the beginning of February traded on the Mavericks, Anthony Davis Was injured in his first game with his new team. A left Adductor trunk kept the 32-year-old off the pitch for six weeks. In his 51 games with both teams, Davis drove an average of 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks. It should be fun to see a (hopefully) healthy Davis next season with her likely first overall selection, Cooper Flag.

Luka Doncic – Dallas Mavericks/Los Angeles Lakers

Luka Doncic was still 26 years old and was part of the most shocking trade in NBA history. At that time he had a veal injury that suspended him for about a month and a half. In the end with Dallas and the Lakers, the 6-foot 6 watchman appeared in 50 games. Doncic recorded an average of 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.8 steals. Before this season, he had been included in the All-NBA First Team for five years.

Kevin Durant – Phoenix Suns

The sun was a big disappointment in 2024-25, but Kevin Durant was certainly not the main culprit. Phoenix went 33-29 with him in the line-up, but was a gruesome 3-17 with him. In his 60 excursions, the 17-year-old veteran had an average of 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks. He has achieved an average of at least 25 per game for 16 years.

Franz Wagner – Orlando Magic

Franz Wagner gets the nod over his team -mate Banchero, which is partly to play in 14 other competitions. The 23-year-old missed about a month and a half due to a torn right in December/January. In his 60 appearances, Wagner achieved an average of 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals. Orlando went with him 33-27, but only 8-14 with him.

Victor Wembanyama – San Antonio Spurs

When the NBA entered the all-star break, it seemed as if the defender of the year was already over. The unanimous rookie from 2023-24, Victor Wembanyama, ran away with honor. Only 21 years old, the 7-foot 3 center was diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis, which ended its season in mid-February. In 46 excursions, Wembanyama played an average of 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.8 blocks. Remarkably, his 176 rejections were 28 more than any other, although he was missing the past two months.
