When will the NBA Awards be given out to the winners?

The NBA Awards won't be given in a venue where stars will be gathered to watch winners receive awards. According to the league, the awards will be given to the respective winners throughout the 2024 playoffs.

The awards will all be announced on TNT, as the network will cover the entire postseason, except the NBA Finals. Much like last year, the crew of Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny "The Jet" Smith will announce each category's winner.

Fans can tune in on TNT during the postseason to be updated on when the awards will be given. Additionally, their social media accounts will provide updates on when the much-awaited announcements will take place.
