The NBA awarded All-Defensive honors Friday night, leaving Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green off the list. A four-time NBA Champion, Green was 10 points shy of his 10th All-Defensive selection. The former Defensive Player of the Year Award winner received eight first-team votes and 24 second-team votes. He finished 13th in the voting overall, three spots shy of Dyson Daniels (Hawks), who received the final spot.
Victor Wembanyama (Spurs), Chet Holmgren (Thunder), Ausar Thompson (Pistons), Rudy Gobert (Timberwolves) and Derrick White (Celtics) were named to the All-Defensive First Team. Scottie Barnes (Raptors), Cason Wallace (Thunder), Bam Adebayo (Heat), OG Anunoby (Knicks) and the aforementioned Daniels made up the second team. Besides Green, no other Warriors received votes.
