Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's trophy haul keeps growing. Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City guard from who is the reigning MVP and NBA Finals MVP, is the clutch player of the year award winner for this season, the league announced Tuesday. It's the first of what could be several awards for Gilgeous-Alexander in the coming weeks. He's the heavy favourite to win a second straight MVP trophy, and because he's a finalist there, he's also a lock to make the All-NBA team for a fourth straight year. "This award means a lot," the Hamilton native said on NBC Sports, which aired the award announcement. "To get this award, you have to help your team win games late and what I'm about more than anything is winning games." Gilgeous-Alexander topped Minnesota's Anthony Edwards and Denver's Jamal Murray of Kitchener, Ont., to win the clutch award. Edwards didn't reach the 65-game eligibility standard for most league awards like MVP and the All-NBA team – and unsuccessfully appealed for a waiver that would have put him on those ballots -- but his candidacy for the clutch award wasn't affected by that rule. Instead, the finalists for the clutch award were decided by a survey of the league's coaches. That whittled the group down to 14 names, which were then placed onto the ballot that a panel of 100 reporters and broadcasters who cover the league filled out last week to decide the various awards.
