Lou Williams of the Los Angeles Clippers takes home the 2019 NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.

It's the second year in a row, Williams has won the award and the third time in his career, joining Jamal Crawford as the only players to win the award three times. 

Williams beat out teammate Montrezl Harrell and Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis after a sizzling year with the Clippers, averaging 20 points and 5.4 assists in just in 26.6 minutes per game.


This season, Williams passed Dell Curry for first place on the all-time list for points scored off the bench, making him the most productive sixth man in NBA history.
