The 2024-25 NBA Sixth Man of the Year (6MOTY) race has been further muddied by injuries, role changes and up-and-down production from premier contenders.
On Sunday, Houston Rockets wing Amen Thompson became a starter with his teammate Jabari Smith Jr. (hand) sidelined for at least four to six weeks. The shift will likely end the two-way standout's 6MOTY candidacy.
Meanwhile, one of the top three favorites for the award also faces a multi-week absence after delivering career-best output over the past few weeks.
Thus, amid his diminishing competition, the league's No. 1 bench scorer continues to position himself as the clear-cut 6MOTY frontrunner after Week 11.
