Former U of L basketball star Montrezl Harrell wins NBA Hustle Award

By John McCarthy–

Former University of Louisville men’s basketball forward Montrezl Harrell has won the 2019-2020 NBA Hustle Award. Harrell is awarded the Hustle Award only a month after winning NBA Sixth Man of the Year last month.

The NBA Hustle Award is given to the player who displays the most effort and energy to help their team win throughout the season.

Harrell was moved to the Clippers via the Chris Paul trade that sent Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harrell played in 63 of Los Angeles’ games before the NBA was shut down in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
