All 13 Sets of Siblings Currently Playing in the NBA, from the Currys to the Murrays

Stephen and Seth Curry

Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Sonya Curry and legendary basketball player Dell Curry, Seth and Stephen Curry already had greatness in their blood. In 2009, the Golden State Warriors drafted Stephen in the first round as the seventh overall pick. While Stephen has stayed with the Warriors since his draft, Seth has played for several teams; the younger brother is now signed with the Dallas Mavericks. 

The Curry brothers have each had successful careers, with Stephen leading the Warriors to victory four times in the NBA Finals and Seth ranking sixth in NBA history for three-point field goal percentage.

Stephen and Seth, who both wear #30 on their jerseys, were the first brothers to face each other in the NBA Conference Finals when the Warriors took on Seth’s Portland Trail Blazers in 2019. 

“For [most of] the year, I want him to play well; I want to see them win,” Seth told All The Smoke about facing Stephen in the Western Conference Finals. “But when we strap them up and play against each other, it's the opposite. I'm going out there, trying to shut him down. Want to see them lose.”

Keegan and Kris Murray

Twin brothers Keegan and Kris Murray grew up playing basketball with each other in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Keegan was selected fourth overall in the first round of the 2022 draft by the Sacramento Kings, while Kris began his career with the Trail Blazers after being drafted in 2023. 

In November 2023, the brothers squared off for the first time ever when the Kings faced the Blazers in Sacramento. "This can be weird because we’ve never been on opposite sidelines before, so it’s going to be different. But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Having a twin brother be in the NBA, too, it will be fun,” Keegan told Andscape.

Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo

Emigrating from Greece to pursue their professional basketball dreams in the United States, the Antetokounmpo brothers have made a name for themselves in the league. Giannis was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2013 as the 15th overall pick in the first round, while Thanasis was drafted by the New York Knicks in 2014 during the second round. Now, the two both play for the Bucks.

In 2021, they helped the team claim their second NBA championship ever against the Phoenix Suns. Star power forward Giannis, referred to affectionately by fans as the “Greek Freak,” walked away with the season’s MVP title as well.

In a conversation with retired sportscaster Jim Paschke in 2021, Giannis expressed pride in playing with his older brother. “He’s really helping the team. When he comes to the game, he really affects the game with his energy. You can feel him,” he said.

The Greek-Nigerian brothers also have three other siblings — two of whom also played professional basketball, Kostas and Alex. Kostas won an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 before moving to an Athens-based team, while Alex is a small forward for the Wisconsin Herd in the NBA’s G League.

Brook and Robin Lopez

Los Angeles natives Brook and Robin Lopez are another pair of brothers who recently played for the Bucks. Drafted in the first round of the 2008 draft, the twins began their careers on separate teams: Robin on the Suns and Brook on the Brooklyn Nets. After nine years with the Nets and a brief stint on the Lakers, Brook signed to the Bucks in 2018. Robin has bounced around teams every few years for his entire career, ending back up on the Bucks as of 2023 before a February 2024 trade to the Kings.

As a guest on a 2023 episode of teammate Thanasis’ podcast Thanalysis, Brook said of playing with his brother, “You’ll do brother stuff on the NBA court that’s so funny that doesn’t belong there. You’ll be messing with your brother like, ‘Get outta here man!’ ”

Moritz and Franz Wagner

German players Moritz and Franz Wagner were both stars of their college basketball team, the University of Michigan’s Wolverines. Older brother Moritz left the team during his junior year to partake in the 2018 draft, where he was selected by the Lakers in the first round. Younger brother Franz was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2021 draft, and the same year, Moritz reunited with his sibling by signing with the Magic.

To ClutchPoints, Moritz expressed his gratitude for the chance to play with Franz. “I’m just trying to enjoy it everyday, embrace it everyday. We drive to work together, we live together, have our family around in this business. That’s not to take for granted, so I embrace that everyday,” he said. “You rarely see me not happy about that.”

Marcus Morris Sr. and Markieff Morris

Twins from Philadelphia, Marcus Morris Sr. and Markieff Morris grew up playing football, not basketball. After a high school basketball coach scouted them, they found success in the sport and were recruited for the University of Kansas’ Jayhawks. 

The Morris twins joined the NBA after being selected in the first round during the 2011 draft; Markieff went to the Suns and Marcus to the Houston Rockets. They played on the Suns together from 2013-15, but despite growing up inseparable, their careers have remained relatively separate. Today, Marcus plays power forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, and Markieff is the Mavericks’ power forward.

In an interview with SB Nation, Marcus talked about their twin connection as kids. “When I’m on the court, he’s the only voice I can hear. There could be a thousand fans, and I can hear him,” he said. “That chemistry is just different, man. It’s hard to explain.”

Lonzo and LaMelo Ball

Hailing from Chino Hills, California, the Ball brothers have had eyes on them since high school, when LaMelo, Lonzo and their brother LiAngelo played together on their school’s basketball team. Lonzo went on to play for the University of California, Los Angeles in his freshman year before electing to enter the NBA draft in 2017. The Lakers selected him as the second overall pick. After two seasons each on the Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans, Lonzo now plays for the Chicago Bulls. Youngest sibling LaMelo was picked third in the 2020 draft by the Charlotte Hornets. 

“We always knew we were going to the league and now the time has finally come,” LaMelo told Forbes ahead of the brothers’ first head-to-head in 2021. “We’re both excited.”

In addition, LiAngelo plays on the NBA G League, and Ball patriarch LaVar owns the apparel and footwear line Big Baller Brand. LaVar has attracted media attention for his comments on his sons’ abilities, even telling TMZ that then-college freshman Lonzo was “going to be better than Steph Curry.”

Justin, Jrue and Aaron Holiday

Born to college basketball players Shawn and Toya Holiday, the Holiday brothers are the only trio of siblings to currently compete in the NBA at the same time. Oldest brother Justin turned professional in 2011 but went undrafted. He later made his debut in the league with the 76ers and has since been a member of the Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Bulls, Knicks, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers, Kings and Mavericks. He now plays for the Denver Nuggets. 

Although Jrue is younger than Justin, he turned professional earlier, in 2009. Drafted 17th overall to the 76ers, the point guard played four seasons in Philadelphia, seven for the Pelicans, three for the Bucks and now for the Boston Celtics. 

Aaron was selected by the Pacers in 2018 as the 23rd overall pick. After three seasons in Indianapolis, one for the Washington Wizards and the Hawks, he now plays for the Rockets. 

“It's really special. I know that it's a blessing, and we don't take it for granted,” Jrue told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “I think to be able to be on the court at the same time, and for me not having too many more years left, I think that it's good to see, and I always want to be out there and cherish those moments."

Caleb and Cody Martin

North Carolina-born twins Caleb and Cody Martin enlisted for the 2019 draft together, but while Cody was picked by the Hornets, Caleb went undrafted. Later that year, he joined his brother on the Hornets, where he stayed for two seasons. He now plays for the Miami Heat. Cody has remained on the Hornets since his signing.

“You got a built-in best friend on the road, so you’re chilling with your teammates, I’m chilling with my brother,” Caleb told Stadium of playing alongside his twin. “We got to do that through pretty much every level of our playing career, so definitely couldn’t ask for a better journey.”

Evan and Isaiah Mobley

The Mobley brothers of San Diego were projected to be top picks in the NBA draft right out of high school. However, both elected to play for the University of Southern California instead of turning pro.

Younger brother Evan chose to enlist in the 2021 draft, where he was selected third overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers. A year later, Isaiah joined him, selected in the second round by the Cavaliers.

Jalen and Jaden McDaniels

From Federal Way, Washington, the McDaniels have established themselves in the NBA since Jalen entered the league in 2019. Drafted in the second round to the Hornets, the small forward spent four seasons with the Charlotte team and is now on a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors. His younger brother of three years, Jaden, was named McDonald’s All-American during his time at the University of Washington. In 2020, Jaden was drafted 28th overall by the Lakers, but after two trades, ended up with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Talking about his older brother to The Charlotte Observer, Jaden said, “I’m super proud to see where he’s at, just from coming from a second-round pick, just to be able to go to the G League, do all those other things to get to where he’s at and be in the rotation now, it’s fun to watch. And kind of inspires me to play harder and go harder.”

Tyus and Tre Jones

Basketball prodigies Tre and Tyus Jones played on their high school’s varsity team as eighth graders. From Minnesota, the brothers both had stints playing college basketball at Duke University — Tyus from 2014 to 2015, and Tre from 2018 to 2020. In the 2015 draft, the Cavaliers picked Tyus as the 24th overall pick, but he was later traded to his home team, the Timberwolves. The point guard spent four seasons each with the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies, who traded him to the Wizards in 2023.

Tre, four years younger than Tyus, joined the San Antonio Spurs in 2020. In his debut game, he met his brother on the opposite side of the court as the Spurs faced the Grizzlies. 

“I think this will probably be the coolest moment for us, just because it’s one of those things you dream about, since we were little,” Tyus told the St. Paul Pioneer Press ahead of the matchup. “Those dreams are so big that when they actually become true and become a reality, you’re kind of speechless. This will definitely be the coolest moment we’ve shared, for sure, on the basketball court.”

Amen and Ausar Thompson

Twin brothers Amen and Ausar Thompson are the most recent pair of siblings to enter the league. Selected in the 2023 draft’s first round as the fourth and fifth overall picks, respectively, Amen went to the Rockets and Ausar to the Detroit Pistons. They were the first twins to be chosen as a top 10 pick in the annual draft. 

On Jan. 1, 2024, the brothers from San Leandro, California, were on opposing sides of the court for the first time professionally when the Rockets beat the Pistons, 136-113. But because they were on different teams in the youth league Overtime Elite, Amen told NBA.com about their match, “I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable — it’s exciting.”
