Denver's Nikola Jokic is one step closer to winning a third MVP award in the last four seasons, while Victor Wembanyama is likely on his way to a trophy or two.
Nikola Jokic is one step closer to winning a third MVP award in the last four seasons. Victor Wembanyama is surely on his way to a trophy — or maybe two. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might get a couple of his own as well.
Miami's Bam Adebayo, Utah's Rudy Gobert and Wembanyama were the three finalists — meaning the Spurs rookie is now assured of being top-three in two different sets of voting. None of last season's finalists made the top three this year. Memphis' Jaren Jackson Jr. won the award last season, with Milwaukee's Brook Lopez and Cleveland's Evan Mobley the other finalists in 2023.
Milwaukee's Bobby Portis is a finalist again, along with Sacramento's Malik Monk and Minnesota's Naz Reid. Malcolm Brogdon, then of Boston, won the award last year, with Portis and New York's Immanuel Quickley the other finalists.
