For most of the year, Celtics guard Payton Pritchard has been the favorite to win the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Now that the regular-season is over, Pritchard said he is honored to be in the mix, but not too focused on what the final outcome will be.
“I feel like I put myself in the best situation possible to win it, so I’m proud of that,” Pritchard said. “I feel like I’ve done my job as far as helping this team come off the bench and be a spark and try to be the best bench player in the league.
