LaMelo Ball, Wander Franco Among SI's Breakthrough Athlete of the Year Nominees

Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year will be revealed during the annual Sports Illustrated Awards Show on Dec. 7, and the Sportsperson honor will be just one of the many awards handed out.

SI will also announce its Breakthrough Athlete of the Year on Dec. 7, with a number of impressive youngsters up for the award. Will a tennis sensation snag the prize? Perhaps a superstar point guard will take home the honors.

To find the ultimate winner, you can follow the broadcast at 8 p.m. ET across SI's social media channels.
