Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley has been named the Southwest Division finalist for the 2018-19 NBA Sportsmanship Award and is listed among 12 finalists for the 2018-19 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award. The winner for each award will be announced on June 24.
The NBA Sportsmanship Award is designed to honor a player who best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court. Each team nominated one of its players for this award, and a panel of five former players selected six division finalists from the pool of team nominees. The winner of the award receives the Joe Dumars Trophy, named after the former Detroit Pistons great who played 14 seasons in the NBA and was the recipient of the inaugural Sportsmanship Award in 1995-96.
