The NBA announced that LA Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell has been named the 2019-20 NBA Kia Sixth Man of the Year. This marks the third straight year and the fifth time overall that a Clippers player has won the award, which is the most for a franchise in NBA History.
Harrell, who was named a finalist for the award last year, averaged career-highs in points (18.6) and rebounds (7.1) this season, while also leading the league with the most double-doubles off the bench (11) and tying for the most 30+ point games off the bench (4). Harrell and teammate Lou Williams, fellow Sixth Man of the Year finalist and three-time Sixth Man of the Year award winner, became the first duo since the NBA started designating starters in 1970-71 to each average 17+ points per game off the bench.
