NBA Awards finalists: A breakdown of who's up for MVP, Rookie of the Year and more in 2024

Throughout this year in the NBA when most people talked about awards season, it usually came up with the fact that some key contributors wouldn’t be included in discussions in the end because of the league’s new participation rule.
