Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams nominated for pair of NBA awards

The NBA announced its finalists for a pair of awards on Tuesday and the Oklahoma City Thunder had a representative in each group.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was nominated for the 2023-24 NBA Sportsmanship Award. The award honors players who represent the best sportsmanship on the court. Players will vote on a winner from the six candidates.

Others nominated include Tyrese Maxey, Jarrett Allen, Kevin Love, Harrison Barnes and Tre Jones.

Jalen Williams was nominated for the 2023-24 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award. The award honors players who are regarded as selfless both on and off the court and those who show leadership skills. Players will vote on the winner from the 12 candidates.

Others nominated include Barnes, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Mike Conley, Markelle Fultz, Al Horford, T.J. McConnell, Larry Nance Jr., Georges Niang and Dwight Powell.

The Thunder will likely have several representatives during the NBA’s award season. Being in first place in the Western Confernce standings with one of the youngest rosters will do that.
