What is Possession Percentage (POSS%)?

Possession Percentage (POSS%) measures the share of team possessions attributed to a player across all games. It is calculated as: POSS% = (Total Player Possessions / Total Team Possessions) × 100. Because individual possessions are estimated by prorating team possessions by minutes played, POSS% closely reflects a player's minutes share over the season. For example, if a point guard accounts for 18% of their team's total possessions, their POSS% is 18.00. Unlike total and per-game possessions, POSS% is displayed to two decimal places because it represents a ratio rather than a count: a player cannot be on the floor for half a possession, but their percentage share can meaningfully differ at the decimal level. This NBA player stat is central to NBA possessions stats for understanding how much a player is involved relative to teammates.

Who leads the NBA in possession percentage in 2026?

Through games played October 30, 2026, Tyrese Maxey of Philadelphia leads all NBA players in possession percentage with 15.7.

Maxey's rate puts him 0.1 percentage points clear of second place & 1.5 ahead of the 25th-ranked player.

Domantas Sabonis of Sacramento is the highest-ranked forward on the board at 15.4 percentage points, third overall, & the first Sacramento player inside the top ten. Jaylen Brown of Philadelphia is eighth with 15.1, Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers ninth with 14.9 and Christian Braun of Denver & Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers are tied for tenth with 14.8.
