With varying injuries to the Jazz, Clarkson was also reliable only missing 4 games. It’s also clear that Clarkson brings a light-hearted presence in the locker room that uplifts his teammates which can prove to be invaluable with the rigors of a tough NBA schedule.

Joe Ingles was the runner up for the award, and had a strong case of his own. Although one of the best parts of this award this year was seeing Joe Ingles present the award to Jordan Clarkson.
