From the Backyard to the Big Leagues: 16 NBA Brother Duos Dominating the Game

In celebration of National Sibling Day, we're spotlighting 16 sets of brothers who turned childhood dreams into NBA reality. From shared driveways to sold-out arenas, these siblings have made their mark on the league — proving that talent (and competition) often runs in the family. Listed alphabetically by last name:

1. Lonzo & LaMelo Ball — Chicago Bulls & Charlotte Hornets
Both former top-three draft picks, the Ball brothers have brought flash and flair to the NBA. Lonzo (No. 2 in 2017) is back on the court with the Bulls after a lengthy injury layoff, while LaMelo (No. 3 in 2020) is averaging a career-best 25.2 PPG for the Hornets and already has an All-Star nod to his name.

2. Max & Cam Christie — Dallas Mavericks & LA Clippers
Selected by rival L.A. franchises, Max (Lakers, 2022) and Cam (Clippers, 2024) briefly shared a city before Max was dealt to Dallas in the Luka Dončić–Anthony Davis blockbuster. He’s since flourished, averaging 10.9 PPG Cam is in his rookie season and gaining experience in L.A.

3. Marvin III & Marcus Bagley — Memphis Grizzlies & Philadelphia 76ers
Marvin was the No. 2 pick in 2018 and is now with Memphis after stints in Sacramento, Detroit, and D.C. Marcus, undrafted in 2023, earned an NBA opportunity through the G League and recently signed a second 10-day contract with the Sixers.

4. Julian & Justin Champagnie — San Antonio Spurs & Washington Wizards
Undrafted twins from Staten Island, Julian and Justin have carved out NBA paths. Justin began with Toronto and now suits up for Washington. Julian landed in San Antonio, where he faced off against his brother for the first time this season — and got the win.

5. Stephen & Seth Curry — Golden State Warriors & Charlotte Hornets
NBA royalty. Stephen is a four-time champ and the league’s all-time 3-point king (4,049 makes). Seth, the sharpshooter of the family, holds a 43.2% career 3-point percentage — 7th all-time in league history.

6. Jrue & Aaron Holiday — Boston Celtics & Houston Rockets
Part of the NBA’s most accomplished sibling trio, Jrue is a two-time All-Star and champion with both Milwaukee (2021) and Boston (2024). Aaron, now in Houston, has become a reliable contributor after stops in Indiana, D.C., Phoenix, and Atlanta.

7. Tyus & Tre Jones — Phoenix Suns & Chicago Bulls
The Duke alums are making their mark. Tyus, now with Phoenix, has emerged as a starting-caliber point guard. Tre, traded to Chicago this season, is averaging 11.5 points and 4.9 assists in a bigger role.

8. Caleb & Cody Martin — Dallas Mavericks & Phoenix Suns
The twins entered the league together in 2019 and briefly teamed up in Charlotte. Caleb later thrived in Miami and now plays for Dallas, while Cody was dealt to Phoenix this season after staying in Charlotte until 2024.

9. Emanuel & Leonard Miller — Chicago Bulls & Minnesota Timberwolves
Leonard was the first to break through, drafted by Minnesota in 2023. Emanuel followed in 2024, signing a two-way deal with Chicago. Leonard is part of the playoff-bound Wolves rotation, while Emanuel has appeared in four games for the Bulls.

10. Keegan & Kris Murray — Sacramento Kings & Portland Trail Blazers
Back-to-back first-rounders out of Iowa, Keegan (No. 4 in 2022) and Kris (No. 23 in 2023) continue to shine. They swapped jerseys after facing off for the first time in late 2023 — a proud moment for the Murray family.

11. Cam & Pat Spencer — Memphis Grizzlies & Golden State Warriors
Pat’s path took him from Northwestern to the G League before landing a two-way deal with the Warriors. Cam, the younger brother, joined the Grizzlies as a second-rounder in 2024. They met on the court for the first time in January.

12. Amen & Ausar Thompson — Houston Rockets & Detroit Pistons
History-makers. The Thompson twins became the first siblings drafted top five in the same year (2023). Both are headed to the playoffs in Year 2 — Amen starring for Houston and Ausar helping lead Detroit’s massive turnaround.

13. Obi & Jacob Toppin — Indiana Pacers & Atlanta Hawks
Though they never suited up together, both began their careers with the Knicks. Obi was traded to Indiana, where he’s been a key piece on a top-four team in the East. Jacob now holds a two-way deal with Atlanta.

14. Moritz & Franz Wagner — Orlando Magic
From Orlando to the international stage, the Wagner brothers helped lead Germany to the 2023 FIBA World Cup title and a 4th-place finish at the 2024 Olympics. Together, they’ve become cornerstones of a rising Magic squad.

15. Cason & Keaton Wallace — Oklahoma City Thunder & Atlanta Hawks
Cason, a defensive menace, is top-3 in the NBA in steals in just his second year. Keaton fought his way up from the G League and has appeared in 29 games for Atlanta after signing a two-way contract in 2024.

16. Jalen & Cody Williams — Oklahoma City Thunder & Utah Jazz
The Williams brothers were both top-12 picks. Jalen (No. 12 in 2022) became an All-Star in 2025 and a key piece of OKC’s Western Conference dominance. Cody (No. 10 in 2024) is averaging 4.6 points in his rookie year with the Jazz.

From gritty beginnings to global stages, these NBA brothers continue to inspire fans — and each other — proving that greatness can be a family tradition.
