While all eyes will naturally be on the NBA Playoffs now that the postseason has arrived, there's still some hardware that has to be handed out in the form of end-of-season awards.

The NBA will soon announce this season's Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Man of the Year, Clutch Player of the Year and Coach of the Year, as well as the 15 All-NBA players, 10 All-Defensive Players and 10 All-Rookie players.

When should you expect to find out if Joel Embiid has edged out Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo to win his first MVP trophy? Or how voters chose between Lauri Markkanen, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Brunson for MIP?

When are the NBA's end-of-season award winners announced?

The finalists for this season's awards were detailed on April 14.

A few days later, the NBA announced that Defensive Player of the Year, Clutch Player of the Year, Coach of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year would be revealed in consecutive days, starting on Monday, April 17.

The NBA then announced that Most Improved Player and Rookie of the Year would be announced on April 24 and April 25, respectively.

The only award remaining is MVP, which will be announced at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 2.

For comparison, the 2021-22 regular season ended on April 10. The finalists for each end-of-season award were revealed on TNT's "Inside the NBA" a week later on April 17.

The winner of each award was then revealed on the following dates:

The 2022-23 regular season ended a day earlier, so it's following a similar timeline with finalists being announced in the middle of April and winners trickling out soon thereafter.

Who votes on the NBA's awards?

The NBA's end-of-season awards are voted on by a global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters.

After all of the awards have been revealed, the NBA shares the ballots for each voter on PR.NBA.com.
