Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon has won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award. After narrowly beating out New York’s Immanuel Quickley, Brogdon becomes just the third member of the team to ever capture the honor. He joins Kevin McHale (’84-85, ’85-86) and Bill Walton (’87-88) to land the award wearing Celtic green.
A native of Georgia who played college hoops with the University of Virginia, Brogdon garnered quick acclaim as a pro after winning the 2017 Rookie of the Year Award with the Milwaukee Bucks. Injuries and roster turnover stalled Brogdon’s attempts at further glory with both Milwaukee and later the Indiana Pacers, and Brogdon was eventually traded to the Celtics this summer.
