National Basketball Association award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NBA Clutch Player of the Year Award is an honor given to a National Basketball Association (NBA) player who "best comes through for his teammates in the clutch" in the regular season. The winner receives the Jerry West Trophy.[1] The trophy is named after Jerry West, who had a reputation of being a clutch player when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers for his entire career from 1960 to 1974.[2][3] The award debuted for the 2022–23 season, and players are voted on by a media panel based on nominations from NBA head coaches.[1][4]
De'Aaron Fox won the inaugural award in 2023.[5][6]
