The 2021–22 regular season ended on April 10. The candidates for each end-of-season award were revealed on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” a week later, on April 17.

The following dates were then used to announce each award’s winner:

  • Defensive Player of the Year: April 18, 2022
  • Rookie of the Year: April 23, 2022
  • Most Improved Player: April 25, 2022
  • Sixth Man of the Year: May 3, 2022
  • Coach of the Year: May 9, 2022
  • Most Valuable Player: May 11, 2022

The regular season of 2022-23 might have a similar timetable, with finalists announced in the middle of April and winners coming in shortly after.

The regular season will however end one day sooner in 2022-23. That would once more coincide with the opening round of the playoffs.

So, to learn whether Joel Embiid defeated Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic to win his first MVP award or, how did voters choose between Lauri Markkanen, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jalen Brunson as their MIP nominee, fans have to expect similar circumstances as last year.

The 2023 NBA Playoffs’ first round will begin on April 15.

Who makes the NBA award decisions? Who are the voters?

The NBA’s end-of-season awards were chosen by a panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters from around the world.
