At the beginning of this season, Jayson Tatum was among the favorites to win the NBA’s MVP Award.
He finished fourth and didn’t get any first or second-place votes. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, who returned early from a sprained LCL to face the Celtics in Game 2 Wednesday night, won the award.
Tatum said winning the award is still his goal, and he believes he still has plenty of time to do it.
“I think I’ve got 15 years left,” Tatum said. “So hopefully one of those years I can play well enough and my team will do well enough to win that award one day.
