Warriors' Curry, Kings' Sabonis voted to All-NBA Third Team originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 2023-24 All-NBA teams are here, featuring Warriors point guard Steph Curry and Kings big man Domantas Sabonis on the third team.

The honor marks a Warriors franchise-record 10th All-NBA Team selection (First Team four times, Second Team four times and Third Team twice) for Curry, who becomes the 26th player in NBA history to earn double-digit All-NBA honors.

"It's amazing -- 10 times now Steph's been an All-NBA player," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said in a video released by the team. "The brilliance for an entire decade is so rare. Steph's been an MVP a couple of times, a four-time champion, but 10 straight years, or at least 10 out of 11, I guess, with the one year with the injury, to be All-NBA is just a testament to Steph's work ethic, obviously his skill and his talent, but also his desire to continue to be great and to continue get better every single year.

"Just an amazing accomplishment."

For Sabonis, the selection marks his second consecutive season after being named to the 2022-23 All-NBA Third Team. He is the 10th player in Kings franchise history to earn back-to-back All-NBA honors.

Unsurprisingly, some of the league's premier names in Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic, Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James and Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards earned a nod on one of the three teams.

However, other key players like Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown and Philadelphia 76ers' Tyrese Maxey didn't make the cut.
