7 players who are shooting 90% or more from free-throw line in 2023-24 NBA season

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Steph Curry extended his lead atop the NBA’s free-throw percentage leaderboard on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Curry finished 6-for-6 (100%) at the line as the Warriors secured a 134-112 blowout victory, marking his fifth straight game without a missed free throw.

The four-time NBA champion has led the league in free-throw percentage in four previous seasons (2010-11, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2017-18). Therefore, Curry once again ranking as the league’s top free-throw shooter (92.6%) shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

However, six other players who qualify for this season’s free-throw percentage leaderboard are also shooting at least 90.0%. This includes a couple of surprise names as well as one superstar who is close to unseating Curry.

On that note, below are the seven players shooting 90.0% or better at the line this season:
