"The NBA and NBPA agreed that, taking into account the totality of the circumstances for Cunningham and Doncic, each player qualified for awards."
"I am grateful to the NBPA for advocating on my behalf and to the NBA for their fair decision. It was so important to me to be present for the birth of my daughter in December."
"This season has been so special to me because of what my teammates and I have been able to accomplish, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to compete for awards."
Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham received exemptions from the NBA's 65-game eligibility rule for end-of-season awards, while Anthony Edwards was denied. Doncic played 64 games, missing two for his daughter's birth, while Cunningham played 63 games, missing 12 due to a collapsed lung. The NBA and NBPA agreed to waive the rule for both players, acknowledging their unique circumstances. Doncic expressed gratitude for the support he received during his daughter's birth and emphasized the significance of the season for him and his teammates.
