Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic are the two main candidates for the MVP award, and the NBA is finally set to announce the winner.
The league has been slower than usual this season in revealing the MVP, as the announcement typically comes earlier.
However, this time the two leading candidates faced each other in a playoff series, which may have led to the delay. Ultimately, the Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Denver Nuggets in seven games.
Now, it’s time for the announcement. The NBA has officially confirmed that the MVP winner will be revealed at 1 a.m. Central European Time.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is considered the frontrunner according to predictions, but Nikola Jokic’s historic season shouldn’t be overlooked. Giannis Antetokounmpo is also a finalist for the award.
