Draymond Green is the winner of the NBA Hustle Award for 2024-25, the league announced on Friday.
The Golden State Warriors forward is a first-time winner of the award, which was created in 2017 to honor players who make "effort plays that don't often appear in the traditional box score, but impact winning on a nightly basis," according to the NBA's announcement.
The league tracks "hustle stats," including deflections, loose balls recovered, charges taken, screens set and shots contested to determine the winner of the award.
Interestingly, Green only ranked among the top 10 in charges drawn and contested 3-pointers, while placing in the top 20 in deflections and contested 2-point shots.
