The NBA stars who might not contend for any awards this season

Maximum alert in the NBA due to the imminent danger that some of the best players in the league may miss out on Awards, including the MVP. The controversial rule requiring players to have played 65 games to qualify for these awards could completely distort the outcome.

Imagining end-of-season NBA Awards without Lebron James, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo being eligible for any award is difficult to accept, a reality already acknowledged by all. However, the risk that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, or Luka Doncic could join that list would be a setback for the league, which will need to reconsider the rule that players must have competed in 65 games to qualify for any award.

The physical demands of modern basketball make that threshold very narrow. The question is no longer just about who will win the MVP if the top candidates face unforeseen circumstances but also about the value of that and other Awards if such a scenario unfolds. Currently, several of the mentioned players are on the edge, and it is important to determine the margin within which they can still choose to rest or recover from issues without forfeiting their right to compete for the NBA Awards.
