As of the 2024âÂÂ25 NBA season, 22 players have played at least 500 consecutive regular season games in their NBA career. The all-time leader of consecutive games is A.C. Green, who played in 1,192 consecutive games during his career. Mikal Bridges is the current active leader, having played 556 games consecutively (as of April 13th, 2025). If ABA games were to be included, Ron Boone would have 1,041 consecutive games played with 379 games from his time in the NBA.
