Kevin Durant is on pace to pass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list before 2025-26 is through.
It’s hard to believe, but the 2025-26 season is more than halfway over now that the All-Star break is in the books.
What statistical milestones could be toppled before this season is complete? Below are 14 major individual milestones and several team milestones to have on your radar.
Stephen Curry: Points
Already this season, Stephen Curry has passed a trio of Hall of Famers–Kevin Garnett (26,071), John Havlicek (26,395) and Paul Pierce (26,397)–on the all-time scoring list. Curry was shut down before the All-Star break to help heal his right knee. He enters the rest of the season needing 50 points to pass another Hall of Famer, Tim Duncan (26,496) for No. 18. He might not be done supplanting Hall of Famers as Dominique Wilkins (No. 17 with 26,668 points), Oscar Robertson (No. 16 with 26,710) and Hakeem Olajuwon (No. 15 with 26,946) are all 500 points or less away.
DeMar DeRozan: Points
Westbrook’s teammate, DeMar DeRozan, has seen his scoring average dip this season (18.7 ppg vs. 22.2 ppg in 2024-25), but he’s on pace to move into the Top 20 all-time scorers. DeRozan needs 57 points to pass Hall of Famer John Havlicek (26,395) for No. 21 and 59 points to pass Hall of Famer Paul Pierce (26,397) for No. 20. After that, it will be a race between him and Curry to see who can pass Robertson, Wilkins and Duncan first this season.
Andre Drummond: Offensive rebounds
In his prime, Andre Drummond led the NBA in rebounds per game four times and offensive rebounds for seven straight seasons (2013-20). Now, as a backup big man on the Philadelphia 76ers, he is averaging 8.6 rpg this season and needs 25 offensive rebounds to pass Charles Oakley (3,924) for No. 10. Once he passes Oakley, Drummond will need 111 more offensive rebounds to leapfrog Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon (4,034) for No. 9.
Kevin Durant: Points, field goals and free throws
Kevin Durant has spent most of 2025-26 climbing the all-time scoring list, passing Wilt Chamberlain for seventh place in January and Dirk Nowitzki for sixth a few weeks later. As this season wanes, he can keep that trend going.
Durant is sixth on the scoring list (31,862 points) and needs 431 points to pass Michael Jordan (31,562) for No. 5 all-time. He’s averaging 25.8 ppg this season, which means he’ll need about 16 more games to move ahead of Jordan. After that, only four players rank ahead of him on the scoring chart: Kobe Bryant (33,643), Karl Malone (36,928), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and LeBron James (31,171 and counting).
Additionally, Durant needs 138 points to reach 32,000 in his career and become the sixth player to join that club (James, Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Bryant and Jordan are the others). Given Paul George’s 25-game suspension, Durant can gain ground on George on the 3-pointers made list. He’s only 109 behind George for No. 9, a number he’s unlikely to reach this season. Additionally, he’s 144 behind Kyle Korver (2,450) for No. 8.
Durant is only 128 free throws from passing Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson (7,694) for No. 6 in that statistic. After that, he’s got a bit of a gap between himself and Bryant (8,378) for No. 5.
LeBron James: Field goals, games played, assists, rebounds and steals
LeBron James is already the NBA’s No. 1 all-time scorer, but before this season ends, he could add two more records to his list. James needs 15 games played to pass Robert Parish (1,611) for No. 1 in that category and 55 field goals to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (15,837) for No. 1.
James missed the Lakers’ first 14 games while recovering from sciatica. Since joining the team on Nov. 11, he has missed just four games. There are 28 games left in the post-All-Star break portion of the season for L.A., meaning James has more than enough wiggle room to pass Parish’s mark, which has stood since 1996–seven years before James was born.
In terms of field goals, James has 15,783 in his career and is averaging 8.2 field goals per game this season (his lowest since 2003-04). Passing Abdul-Jabbar could happen as soon as the first week of the season, upon returning from the All-Star break for James. Once he does that, he’ll need 163 field goals to become the first player in NBA history with 16,000.
James also needs 266 more assists to pass Hall of Famer Jason Kidd (12,091) for No. 3 all-time in that category. James is 162 assists from becoming the fourth player ever with 12,000 or more career assists (John Stockton, Chris Paul and Kidd are the others). Additionally, once he passes Kidd, James is 461 assists from moving ahead of Paul (12,552) for No. 2.
As the season closes out, James has a shot at moving up in two rebounding categories: defensive rebounds and total rebounds. In total rebounds, he’s 266 away from passing Charles Oakley (12,205) for No. 22 in total rebounds. Given his production (5.8 rpg) this season, James could pass Hall of Famers Paul Silas (12,357, No. 21) and Dikembe Mutombo (12,359, No. 20) before the season is through.
Additionally, James is No. 5 in defensive rebounds after passing Parish (10,117) shortly before the All-Star break. He needs 360 more to pass former teammate Dwight Howard (10,476) for No. 4 in defensive rebounds.
Lastly, James is 62 steals from passing Hall of Famer Gary Payton (2,445) for No. 5 in that category. However, it’s unlikely he’ll catch Payton this season (James is averaging 1.1 spg with just 28 games left), but he needs 16 steals to become the sixth player with at least 2,400 career steals (Stockton, Paul, Kidd, Michael Jordan and Payton are the others).
Brook Lopez: Blocks
LA Clippers center Brook Lopez is a former two-time All-Defensive selection and is averaging 1 bpg this season in a reduced role. He needs 10 blocks to pass Shawn Bradley (2,119) for No. 15 on the all-time list and needs 28 more before season’s end to pass Hall of Famer Ben Wallace (2,137) for No. 14.
Doc Rivers: Wins
Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers is 27 wins from passing Pat Riley (1,210) for No. 5 all-time in that category. However, given the Bucks’ struggles this season (23-30), he’d have to pull off a remarkable run in the team’s final 29 games to get to this number in 2025-26.
Russell Westbrook: Points
Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook entered the All-Star break with 27,001 career points and is No. 14 on the all-time scoring list. He needs 314 points to pass Hall of Famer Elvin Hayes (27,313) for No. 13 and 409 points to pass Hall of Fame center Moses Malone (27,409) for No. 12.
Westbrook could also make a run at 28,000 career points, as he needs 999 more to reach that as well. He’s unlikely to move ahead of Hall of Famers Carmelo Anthony at No. 11 (28,289) and Shaquille O’Neal at No. 10 (28,596) as he’d need to score more than 1,000 points to close out the season just to get close.
Team milestones
Jaylen Brown: Points
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is already in the team’s Top 20 all-time scorers, but he can move into the Top 15 before 2025-26 is through. Brown needs 342 points to pass Jojo White (13,188) for No. 16 and 346 points to pass Dave Cowens (13,192) for No. 15 on the team’s scoring list. In the first half of 2025-26, Brown amassed 1,435 points, putting both White and Cowens within a reasonable range. Once he passes them, next up is injured teammate Jayson Tatum (13,784) at No. 14.
Nic Claxton: Blocks
Brooklyn big man Nic Claxton has finished with 100 blocks or more in each of the last three seasons. He has 63 blocks this season and needs three more to pass Mike Gminski (599) to move to No. 3 in that stat in team lore. Given Claxton’s 1.3 blocks per game average this season, it won’t take long for him to reach that milestone and pursue Buck Williams (696) for No. 2.
Miles Bridges: Field goals, 3-pointers | LaMelo Ball: 3-pointers
Hornets forward Miles Bridges is closing in on a pair of milestones as 2025-26 wanes. First, he needs 22 more field goals to pass franchise icon Larry Johnson (2,858) for No. 5 in that stat. Second, he is 21 3-pointers away from passing Terry Rozier (864) for No. 3 in that stat (but teammate LaMelo Ball may do so first). Bridges is averaging 6.5 field goals and 2.1 3-point field goals made per game this season, putting both marks well within range.
Ball has his name throughout the team’s record books as well. He needs only five 3-pointers to pass Terry for No. 3, which should happen in Ball’s first two or so games after the break. Sometime next season, Ball could move into the team’s Top 5 in points, steals and field goals made.
Jarrett Allen & Donovan Mitchell: Field goals
All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell and former All-Star center Jarrett Allen are primed to climb the Cavs’ all-time field goals made list after the break. Mitchell is 90 field goals from passing World B. Free (2,372) for No. 15 in that category. Mitchell averages 10.1 field goals per game and if he notches another 200 or so, he’d also pass No. 14 Tristan Thompson (2,448), No. 13 Jim Chones (2,456), No. 12 Campy Russell (2,480) and No. 11 Kevin Love (2,503).
Allen (2,245 field goals) isn’t the volume scorer Mitchell is, but he is within range of passing Free as well. He needs 128 field goals to pass Free and 204 to pass Thompson. Given his scoring output (5.8 FG per game), Allen should pass Free but may not pass Thompson.
Draymond Green: Assists
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green can climb the team’s all-time assists list before the season ends as he needs 63 assists to pass Guy Rodgers (4,855) for No. 2 in that category. Green is averaging 5.6 assists per game this season and with 27 games left, he wouldn’t even need to play in every game to get to 63 assists if his average holds up.
Jamal Murray: Assists
Denver guard Jamal Murray is enjoying a career-best season and is fresh off his first All-Star Game appearance. As the 2025-26 season winds down, he can move up on the Nuggets’ all-time assists list. Murray needs 90 assists to pass Andre Miller (2,978) for No. 4 in assists and needs 678 assists to pass Fat Lever (3,566) for No. 3. Murray has 380 assists at the All-Star break, so tacking on another 90 seems like a given. Passing Lever is less likely, but he can trim the gap before 2025-26 is done.
Cade Cunningham: Assists and 3-pointers made
Cade Cunningham is also enjoying a career season. His 9.2 assists per game rank No. 2 in the NBA and he’s piled up 452 assists as the post-All-Star break portion of the season nears. He needs 57 assists to pass Lindsay Hunter (2,038) for No. 10, needs 93 assists to pass Tayshaun Prince (2,074) for No. 9 and needs 275 assists to pass Bob Lanier (2,256) for No. 8. Given Cunningham’s production, passing all three players seems within reach.
Additionally, Cunningham needs 22 3-pointers to pass Prince (510) for No. 5 in that category. Once he moves ahead of Prince, Cunningham will be 72 3-pointers away from passing Rasheed Wallace (581) for No. 4.
Aaron Nesmith: 3-pointers made
This has been a difficult season for the Pacers, but one bright spot has been the continued development of Aaron Nesmith. The sixth-year guard is averaging career highs in nearly every category, including 3-pointers made per game (2.4). Nesmith has 415 career 3-pointers and needs 20 more to pass Justin Holiday (434) for No. 10 on that list. Given Nesmith has 76 3-pointers at the All-Star break and his current production, moving ahead of Holiday should be easy work.
Kawhi Leonard: 3-pointers made and attempted
Kawhi Leonard is in the Top 10 in several categories in Clippers lore, including points, steals, field goals made and attempted and more. Before the 2025-26 campaign ends, he can move to No. 3 in 3-pointers made and No. 4 in 3-point attempts. Leonard needs 19 3-pointers to pass JJ Redick (674) for No. 3 in that category and needs 26 3-point attempts to pass Chris Paul (1,667) for No. 4 in that stat. Leonard is averaging 2.7 3-pointers on seven attempts per game this season, which puts both stats well within reach for him.
LeBron James: Assists, Field goals made and attempted
On the league level, LeBron James, as mentioned before, has more than a few milestones within reach. That says nothing of what he has within his grasp on the Lakers level as well.
Assists-wise, James needs 21 more to pass Elgin Baylor (3,650) for No. 7, 23 more to pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (3,652) for No. 6 and 37 more to pass Michael Cooper (3,666) for No. 5. James is averaging 7.1 apg this season, which puts each of those players on the Lakers’ leaderboard within reach. Once he passes Cooper, James needs 180 more assists to pass Norm Nixon (3,846) for No. 4.
In terms of field goals made, James is 31 away from passing Jamaal Wilkes (4,533) for No. 10 and needs 25 field goal attempts to pass Vern Mikkelsen (8,812) for No. 10 in that stat. Once he passes Wilkes and Mikkelsen, James has a ways to go before he’d pass No. 9 Gail Goodrich (5,107 field goals) and No. 9 Shaquille O’Neal (9,498).
Bam Adebayo: Steals and defensive rebounds
Bam Adebayo is No. 4 in steals in team history and needs 11 more steals to pass Grant Long (666) for No. 3 in that category. Adebayo is averaging 1 spg this season, which puts Long’s spot well within reach. Additionally, Adebayo has 4,134 defensive rebounds with Miami and needs 43 defensive rebounds to pass Udonis Haslem (4,176) for No. 1 in that category. Adebayo is averaging 7.8 defensive rebounds per game this season, which puts Haslem’s mark well within reach.
Bobby Portis & Giannis Antetokounmpo: 3-pointers made
Bucks fan-favorite Bobby Portis is No. 6 in team history with 564 3-pointers. He enters the post-All-Star break portion of 2025-26 needing 22 more 3-pointers to pass Pat Connaughton (574) for No. 5. Portis is averaging 1.9 3-pointers per game, which puts passing Connaughton within range. Giannis Antetokounmpo is No. 7 in 3-pointers made in Bucks lore (557) and needs 29 3-pointers to pass Connaughton for No. 5.
Anthony Edwards: Assists, Free throws made and attempted
Before the season is done, Anthony Edwards can move into the Top 4 in assists and Top 3 in free throws made and attempted. Edwards needs 45 more assists to pass Pooh Richardson (1,815) for No. 4. He needs 59 more free throws to pass Kevin Love (1,913) for No. 3 and needs 79 free throw attempts to pass Andrew Wiggins (2,390) for No. 3. This season, Edwards is averaging 3.7 apg as well as 5.8 free throws on 7.3 free throw attempts.
Zion Williamson: Assists and rebounds.
Pelicans star Zion Williamson has 1,060 assists in his career with the team and can move as high as No. 4 on the team’s list before the season is over. Williamson needs 80 more assists to supplant Tyreke Evans (1,139) for No. 4. Along the way, he’d also pass No. 6 Greivis Vasquez (1,063) and No. 5 CJ McCollum (1,113), too. Williamson had 140 assists before the All-Star break, so another 80 or so seems reasonable.
Rebounds-wise, Williamson is No. 11 in team history with 1,659 and needs 11 rebounds to pass Brandon Ingram (1,669) for No. 10. He has 244 rebounds at the All-Star break and another 100 or so rebounds before the end of 2025-26 would push him past No. 9 Jrue Holiday (1,728) and No. 8 Emeka Okafor (1,759).
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Points, free throws made and attempted
Reigning Kia MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn’t let up in 2025-26 and ranks No. 2 in the NBA in points per game (31.8). He can etch his name into OKC’s record book as its No. 5 scorer as he needs 72 points to pass Hall of Famer and Sonics legend Jack Sikma (12,034) for that spot. Given his scoring average, it’s reasonable to think the gap between himself and No. 4 Fred Brown (14,018) will shrink before the season is done.
Gilgeous-Alexander can also pass Sikma in free throws made and attempted, too. He needs four more free throws and 162 more attempts to pass Sikma for No. 5 in both categories. Once he passes Sikma in makes, only Russell Westbrook (4,685) and Kevin Durant (4,599) will be ahead of him. In attempts, he will have to pass Westbrook (5,846), Durant (5,212), Shawn Kemp (3,808) and Gary Payton (3,726).
Tyrese Maxey & Joel Embiid: 3-pointers made
All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey and former Kia MVP Joel Embiid are on the cusp of moving into elite 3-point shooting territory before 2025-26 ends. Maxey has 870 career 3-pointers in Philly and needs 16 more to pass franchise icon and Hall of Famer Allen Iverson (885) for No. 1. Maxey is averaging 3.3 3-pointers per game this season, which means Iverson’s mark could fall before February is complete.
Embiid is No. 6 in Sixers 3-point shooting history (571) and needs five more 3-pointers to supplant Tobias Harris (575) for No. 5. Embiid makes 3-pointers at a lower per-game rate than Maxey (1.3), but he’s just a hot streak away from moving ahead of Harris. Additionally, Embiid is 11 3-point attempts away from passing Andre Iguodala (1,700) for No. 4 in that category. This season, Embiid is attempting 3.9 3-pointers per game.
Devin Booker: Free throws made
Devin Booker is already the Suns’ all-time leader in points, field goals and 3-pointers made and attempted. He’s on the cusp of another team mark before 2025-26 ends as he needs 25 free throws to pass Kevin Johnson (3,851) for No. 1 in that stat. Booker is making 6.9 free throws per game this season, which makes passing Johnson a near-given.
Jerami Grant: 3-pointers made and attempted
Veteran forward Jerami Grant is on pace for another season with at least 100 made 3-pointers and is also in line to move up in team history. Grant has 455 3-pointers in his Portland career and needs 10 more to pass Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler (464) for No. 10. Additionally, he needs 60 more 3-point attempts to pass Steve Blake (1,236) for No. 10 in that category as well. Grant is 92-for-246 on 3-pointers as the second half of the season begins and stats that are 1/3 of those totals would easily push him into No. 10 in both categories.
Domantas Sabonis: Rebounds
Injuries reduced Domantas Sabonis’ availability in 2025-26, but they haven’t slowed his rebounding production. He’s averaging 11.4 rebounds per game this season and has a realistic shot at Top 10 on the team’s all-time rebounding list. Sabonis’ 3,466 rebounds rank No. 12, and he needs 282 to pass Jason Thompson (3,746) for No. 10. Sacramento has 26 games left, and there’s not a lot of wiggle room for Sabonis to miss games and catch Thompson. But if he stays healthy, the math says he’ll grab the No. 10 spot.
Victor Wembanyama: Blocks
Victor Wembanyama’s 2.7 blocks per game is tops in the league this season and has helped fuel his rise in that stat in Spurs history, too. Wembanyama has 536 career blocks and needs eight more to pass Billy Paultz (543) for No. 5 in that stat. Passing Paultz shouldn’t be an issue, as Wembanyama already has 12 games this season with four or more blocks.
