What are Assists?

Assists record the number of times a player passes the ball to a teammate who scores directly afterward. For example, if a guard drives and dishes to a center for a dunk, it counts as an assist.

Who has the most assists (AST) in the NBA in 2026?

The top player in AST is Trae Young of Washington, at 70 through games played November 2, 2026. Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers ranks second at 57, with Davion Mitchell of Miami third at 56. Young's AST total puts him 13 assists clear of second place & 31 ahead of the 25th-ranked player.

Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers is the highest-ranked guard-forward on the board at 57 assists, second overall. Jayson Tatum of Boston, Jalen Johnson of Atlanta & Josh Giddey of Chicago are tied for fourth at 55, with Nikola Jokic of Denver seventh at 54, Franz Wagner of Orlando eighth at 53, Cade Cunningham of Detroit ninth at 50 & Domantas Sabonis of Sacramento tenth at 48.

Three assists separate eighth from ninth, the widest single step anywhere below the top four.
