    Memphis Grizzlies big man Jaren Jackson Jr. secured his third career All-Defensive team selection on May 22. Jackson, 25, was selected as a second-team All-Defense member after a strong 2024-25 season. This was his first time being a member of the second team. Former Grizzlies wing Tony Allen hold the franchise record for most first-team All-Defensive finishes (three) and total All-Defensive finishes (six). Jackson was first named a member of the All-Defensive first team after the 2021-22 season.
