will reveal this season's Most Valuable Player on Sunday, which just happens to be the day before Game 1 of the Western Conference finals between theis the reigning MVP and he's one of the three finalists for the award this season — along with Spurs center.
Amazon Prime Video announced that it would reveal the MVP winner during its pregame show Sunday, which starts at 7:30 p.m. EDT. No matter who wins, it'll be the eighth consecutive season in which a player who was born outside the U.S. takes the MVP trophy.
Wembanyama would be the first French player to win MVP, and Jokic is seeking a fourth MVP — something only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , Michael Jordan , Bill Russell , Wilt Chamberlain and LeBron James have done. The scheduling of the announcement may be a hint that Gilgeous-Alexander might be the winner, because it would have the same time-frame that the MVP reveal followed a year ago.
In 2025, Gilgeous-Alexander was announced as the winner May 21, and he was formally presented with the trophy before Game 2 of the West finals in Oklahoma City on May 22. This year, the Sunday announcement comes a day before the Thunder plays host to Game 1 of the West finals on Monday night. — Defensive Player of the Year: Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio. — Sportsmanship Award: Derrick White, Boston.
The league's Coach of the Year award has yet to be announced, as have the All-NBA, All-Rookie and All-Defensive teams.2025-26 NBA ECF, WCF MVP Odds: SGA, Brunson Open as Favorites2025-26 NBA ECF, WCF MVP Odds: SGA, Brunson Open as FavoritesFOX SPORTS™, SPEED™, SPEED.
