LOS ANGELES — The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association announced Thursday that Luka Dončić of the Los Angeles Lakers and Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons will remain eligible for all major league awards for the 2025–26 regular season under the league’s extraordinary circumstance
The two-time MVP kept Golden State's season alive.
Due to the Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge, Pistons' Cade Cunningham is now eligible for all annual awards for the 2025-26 NBA regular season.
Until the NBA adopts its new anti-tanking reforms, the Bucks realistically can’t begin to engage in good-faith Antetokounmpo trade talks with other teams.
Cade Cunningham, along with Luka Doncic, has been made award-eligible on Thursday, April 16, despite missing the 65-game cutoff for eligibility.
The change-of-plea hearing has not yet been scheduled.
While the Lakers and Pistons stars will qualify for All-NBA teams, Edwards will not.
Both men put forward "extraordinary circumstances" challenges, and both will make All-NBA teams.
Luka Doncic, a leading candidate for MVP and a lock for his sixth All-NBA team, played in only 64 games this season. The NBA typically requires 65 games played to be eligible.
