Jokic’s Surprise Start Against Spurs Sparks Award Race Drama as Wemby Sits Out
Jokic, who won MVP in 2021, 2022 and 2024, has been named to the All-NBA Team in seven of his 11 seasons.
Wembanyama qualified for award eligibility by playing in his 65th game Friday, in San Antonio’s 139-120 victory over Dallas.
Wembanyama competed in 64 regular-season games in addition to the NBA Cup Final, which does not count toward regular-season record or statistics, but does qualify as a game played.
Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion and missed the second half of Monday’s 115-102 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. He returned Friday to post 40 points and 13 rebounds in 26:13 minutes against Dallas.
