Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon was named the 2023 NBA Sixth Man of the Year on Thursday.
With this award, Brogdon becomes just the second player in NBA history to win the Sixth Man of the Year title after previously being named the league’s Rookie of the Year (2017), according to ESPN Stats & Info. The only other NBA player to win both awards is Mike Miller, who won the titles in 2006 and ‘01, respectively.
Brogdon also became just the third Celtics player in franchise history to win the award, following Kevin McHale, who won it twice in 1984 and ‘85, and Bill Walton in ‘86.
