NBA insider Marc Stein recently reported on a new voting process for year-end awards. Because of the new rules regarding player eligibility for end-of-season awards, ballots for the 2023-24 season weren't sent out until the regular season ended and voting began from April 16-19.
Last season's award winners were revealed between April 17 and May 2.
