Other finalists for the sportsmanship award are Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat; Harrison Barnes of the Sacramento Kings; Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks; Mike Conley of the Minnesota Timberwolves; and Darius Garland of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Now 34 years old, the 7-foot-3 Marjanovic has played largely in mop-up duty for the Rockets, averaging 3.0 points (66.7% FG) and 1.8 rebounds in an average of 5.2 minutes over 29 games. His primary role with the rebuilding Rockets has been as a positive leader and locker-room mentor for the team’s younger prospects, who have frequently lauded his value throughout the season.
