LA Clippers forward-center Montrezl Harrell has been named as the winner of the 2019-20 Kia NBA Sixth Man Award for his contributions in a reserve role. It is the first NBA Sixth Man Award for Harrell, who finished in third place last season.
Harrell’s award means that an LA Clippers’ player has now won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award for the third straight season.
He received 58 first-place votes from a global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters to earn 397 total points. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schröder finished in second place with 328 points (35 first-place votes) while the Clippers guard Lou Williams, a three-time Kia NBA Sixth Man Award winner, received the other seven first-place votes and finished in third place with 127 points.
