The NBA's award race was thrown into chaos when MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokic suffered a knee injury that is expected to keep him out at least a month. That gives San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama a path to winning the award.
The Silver and Black have the fourth-best record in the NBA, and they have had several high-profile wins that might bolster his candidacy. To be clear, he is still likely a fringe MVP candidate, and he can only afford to miss a few remaining games and still be considered.
His most recent injury has caused him to miss a couple of games, further hurting his MVP odds.
