Boston Celtics veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon has won the 2022-23 Tommy Award, an honor dedicated to the late, great Celtics champion player, coach, and broadcaster Tommy Heinsohn. This is the third time now that NBC Sports Boston has issued this annual honor.
The single-game Tommy Award itself has been around since 2003, created as a nightly accolade that has since been presented by NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics broadcasters from Heinsohn himself and now others as well. The honor is meant to recognize a player who goes above and beyond with their play and celebrate the important impact a player can have far beyond the stat sheet. Unsurprisingly given the award, Brogdon is one of Boston’s unsung heroes.
