About This Dataset
NBA Rebounding Leaders 2025-26
What this chart shows. The 20 players with the most rebounds per game in the 2025-26 NBA regular season. Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets led with 12.9, ahead of Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks with 11.9 and Donovan Clingan of the Portland Trail Blazers with 11.6.
How the data is collected. Rebounds include both offensive and defensive rebounds. Each value is a player's rebound total from Basketball-Reference divided by his games played, and only players who took part in at least 58 games are ranked.
Background. Nikola Jokić averaged 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists, the only qualified player to average a triple-double. Victor Wembanyama, fourth here with 11.5, also led the league in blocks with 3.1 per game.
Limits. Rebounding totals depend on team style and on how many shots the opponents miss, so they compare players on different teams only roughly. A player who missed games but rebounded well when he played can fall below the 58-game line and drop out.
