- DeAndre Jordan received 1,445 points in the player vote, edging out Jrue Holiday (1,437) and Jeff Green (1,420).
- NBA players (385) cast votes for the Twyman‑Stokes Teammate of the Year, a peer‑selected honor presented since 2013.
- Jordan added the award to a résumé that already includes three All‑NBA selections, two All‑Defensive Team picks, an Olympic gold medal (2016) and a 2023 Denver championship.
- Other nominees included Garrett Temple, Pat Connaughton, Jalen Brunson, Jayson Tatum, De'Aaron Fox, Duncan Robinson, Jaylin Williams, Desmond Bane, and Marcus Smart.
Why it matters: Jordan's 1,445‑point win boosts his bargaining power in future contract talks, giving him leverage for higher salaries and endorsements, and raises his profile among sponsors, potentially translating into new deals.
