Spurs' Wembanyama named open defensive player of the year

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Victor Wembanyama as expected was announced Monday as the NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

The San Antonio Spurs center was second in the voting for DPOY as a rookie, was the favorite last season until a medical condition ended his season prematurely, then left no doubt this year.

He's the first unanimous winner of the award and, at 22, the youngest winner.

"The real struggle might have been getting to 65 games," Wembanyama said referring to the number he needed for award eligibility on NBC Sports Network. "But I'm super, super happy to win this award and actually super proud to be the first-ever unanimous."

The Oklahoma City Thunder's Chet Holmgren was second and the Detroit Pistons' Ausar Thompson was third after both helped their teams secure No. 1 seeds for the playoffs.
