Luka Doncic, Cade Cunningham ruled eligible for awards, but Anthony Edwards still isn’t

The NBA’s 65-game award rule was put in the spotlight this season when players such as Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham weren’t eligible.

After both filed for an Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge, they have now been made eligible for end-of-the-season awards, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

“Just in: The NBA and NBPA have ruled in favor of Lakers’ Luka Doncic and Pistons’ Cade Cunningham on their Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for the 65-game award rule, making both eligible for all 2025-26 season honors such as MVP and All-NBA teams, sources tell ESPN,” Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
