NBA Eligibility Shock: Why Edwards Was Snubbed While Doncic and Cunningham Soar Despite the 65-Game Rule Debate

Victor Wembanyama squeezed in his 65th game in the penultimate fixture of the regular season, and Nikola Jokic did not reach the mark until the final day.

Denver Nuggets coach David Adelman has called for reform. “That’s not the spirit of what that rule is,” he said last week, arguing that if a player like Jokic can play 64 games without ever wanting to come out and still miss award eligibility, something needs to change.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, however, pushed back. “I think it is working,” Silver said at last month’s board of governors press conference. “Almost a third of the All-NBA players had not played 80% of the games in the three years before we adopted this rule. That was a huge issue for the league. You see them on the floor now.”
