List of NBA players with 500 consecutive games played

For basketball players in the National Basketball Association (NBA), playing 500 consecutive regular season games is considered a highly significant achievement. This is often referred to as an "iron man streak".

As of the completion of the 2023–24 NBA season – the 78th regular season of play of the NBA – around 20 players had played at least 500 consecutive regular season games in their NBA career, making it one of the most exclusive 500-clubs in the NBA.

The all-time leader of consecutive games is A.C. Green, who played in 1192 consecutive games during his career. Mikal Bridges is the current active leader, having played 556 games consecutively (as of April 13th, 2025).

Several streaks ended for reasons other than player injury. Could be contract disputes, DNP-CD, suspensions, and other happenings that forced a player to miss a game.

As of the start of the 2024–25 season, there is only one player with active 500 consecutive game streaks: Mikal Bridges, with the closest runner-up, Harrison Barnes, a distant follower with only about 250 straight games played, and no other players coming close to either of them.

This is a list of the NBA players who have played at least 500 consecutive regular season games in their NBA career, updated through games played on December 16th, 2024. *If ABA games are also counted, Ron Boone should have 1041 consecutive games played - although only 379 of those came while he was in the NBA.
