The NBA playoffs have begun and the regular season’s awards are quickly approaching. Ballots were due before the first Play-In game on April 16. The NBA has announced the finalists for its top awards, with Wembanyama and Gilgeous-Alexander being nominated for multiple awards.
Jokic and Gobert are expected to win their respective awards, while other winners would be first-timers. The schedule for when each award will be given is not officially released by the NBA, but it is typical that they are handed out in the first and second rounds of the playoffs.
Last season, the first award was given on the first Monday of the first round, with Jaren Jackson Jr. winning Defensive Player of the Year. MVP was announced for Joel Embiid ahead of Game 2 of his second-round series against the Boston Celtics. With the votes tallied and finalists named, we can expect to see who will be taking home these prestigious awards in the upcoming rounds of the playoffs soon.
