New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson was named the 2024-25 Kia Clutch Player of the Year on Wednesday, an award bestowed upon the NBA star who best pulls through for their team in late close-game scenarios.
To pick the winner, a 100-person global media panel voted on a list of players first nominated by NBA coaches. Brunson accumulated 70 first-place votes, 24 second-place votes and four third-place votes for an overall score of 426, still miles ahead of Nikola Jokic in second place (312 points) and Anthony Edwards in third (47 points).
