DeMar DeRozan sits at No. 16 with 26,763 points, although DeRozan's overall scoring total will continue to rise as he begins his first season as a member of the Denver Nuggets.

Curry's status among the top 20 scorers in NBA history is particularly impressive considering the time he's missed due to injuries throughout his career, including a 2019-20 campaign in which he was limited to just five games played.

This season, he entered Friday's action averaging 28.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from three-point territory.
