Jokic’s Surprise Start Against Spurs Sparks Award Race Drama as Wemby Sits Out
The NBA requires players to participate in 65 games to be eligible for MVP, All-NBA and Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Jokic must play at least 15 minutes against San Antonio to be eligible.
The NBA allows two exemptions of 15 to 19:59 minutes played to count as an official game. Jokic has one exemption remaining.
“Yeah, he’ll play the first half,” Denver coach David Adelman said. “Then we’ll reconvene at halftime and see where he’s at, where the game’s at. It’s what the rules provide. So we’ll follow the rules.”
