Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown fall shy of earning NBA’s Most Improved Player award

The Boston Celtics have two budding, young superstars on their roster in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

But neither Tatum nor Brown was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player Monday even after making a significant leap in their play this season

Tatum finished fourth in the voting, several spots ahead of his teammate Brown, who ended up in 12th place. New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram earned the honor of Most Improved while Miami’s Bam Adebayo followed closely behind and Dallas’ Luka Doncic finished a distant third.
