Even though Stephen Curry has carried a lot of the load for the Golden State Warriors this season, he will not be returning home with his third NBA Most Valuable Player title. The current front-runners for the prized MVP award are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic.
But it seems like Curry isn’t going home with nothing. This comes following the official announcement that the Warriors talisman is a finalist for the NBA Most Clutch Player of the Year title.
The NBA revealed the candidates for all of its individual end-of-season awards on Sunday, and the Clutch Player of the Year title is one of them. It’s hardly surprising that Curry leads the way in what might be yet another trophy Curry adds to his impressive collection:
The Clutch Player of the Year title is awarded to the player who “best comes through for his teammates in the clutch”. This is just the second season this honor will be awarded by the NBA, with the defending and inaugural winner being De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings.
The player who “best comes through for his teammates in the clutch” wins the title of Clutch Player of the Year. The NBA is only giving this award for the second time, with De’Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings being the previous winner and the first recipient.
