Donte DiVincenzo ineligible for MIP despite 81 games played

By almost any definition, New York Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo was among the NBA's most improved players this season.

His shooting efficiency metrics reached career-best levels, as did his scoring, which jumped from 9.4 points per game a year ago to 15.5 points this season. He drained a franchise-record 283 triples -- only Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic finished with more -- nearly doubling the 150 3s he connected on during the 2022-23 campaign.

Beyond all that, he suited up and played in 81 of 82 games for demanding Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, logging a career-high 2,360 minutes in the process.
