During his annual All-Star Weekend media availability, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was questioned about the possibility of separating NBA awards from Designated Player (Super Max) contracts.
This inquiry arose in the context of some players expressing discontent with the new 65-game rule for eligibility for certain NBA awards.
Silver expressed uncertainty about whether it is time to unlink awards from contracts, indicating that this is a topic that needs discussion with the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA).
