OKLAHOMA CITY -- After winning his first scoring title and leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a league-high 68 wins, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has earned his first NBA MVP award, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday.
The league will officially announce the honor Wednesday night, a few nights after Gilgeous-Alexander's Thunder defeated Nikola Jokic's Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Gilgeous-Alexander finished as the runner-up in last year's MVP voting, when Jokic won his third MVP in four seasons.
