There may be 88 regular “seeding” games remaining in the 2019-20 season, but the NBA has announced those contests will not count towards the annual performance awards, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
There’s a fair argument for this decision considering eight teams won’t be participating in Disney’s Campus tournament.
“The decision to exclude seeding games from awards voting ensures a fair process in which players and coaches from all 30 teams will have the same opportunity to be honored,” Shams tweeted.
The New Orleans Pelicans most famous face is last summer’s first overall draft selection.
