Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley has been named the NBA’s Teammate of the Year for the 2023/24 season, the league announced today (via Twitter).
The Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year award “recognizes the player deemed the best teammate based on selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and a role model to other players, and commitment and dedication to team,” per the NBA.
The award isn’t voted on by media members. A panel of league executives select the 12 finalists (six from each conference) for the award, while current players vote on the winner. Players receive 10 points for a first place vote, seven for second, five for third, three for fourth, and one point for fifth place.
Here are this season’s full voting results, according to the NBA, with the player’s point total noted in parentheses:
- Mike Conley, Timberwolves (1,172)
- Mikal Bridges, Nets (1,041)
- Jalen Brunson, Knicks (783)
- T.J. McConnell, Pacers (759)
- Georges Niang, Cavaliers (748)
- Al Horford, Celtics (634)
- Larry Nance Jr., Pelicans (627)
- Jalen Williams, Thunder (565)
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nuggets (560)
- Dwight Powell, Mavericks (549)
- Harrison Barnes, Kings (435)
- Markelle Fultz, Magic (421)
It’s the second Teammate of the Year award for Conley, won also won it in 2018/19 when he was a member of the Grizzlies.
The award, which was introduced in ’12/13, had gone to Jrue Holiday in each of the past two seasons (and three of the past four), with Damian Lillard taking it home in 2021.
Well-deserved. Since his arrival, he has helped galvanize this team.
Yeah, it’s actually incredible how much of a difference he has made. I always liked him but this has pushed my respect for him even higher.
Would love to see the other star from the Grit and Grind era win a championship.
Yea and he has to put up with that clown Rudy
Wtf teammate of the year award? Somehow I’ve missed this in prior years. Guess next they’ll be giving out participation trophies to all players
A teammate award having someone bothered is kind of funny, not gonna lie.
Right, quite ironic. Don’t think Steve would be getting any votes.
You obviously have no clue what go Steve Urkel is. Got everyone doing the Urkel. Back under your rock Ben, go back to being irrelevant
Oh I’m familiar, I was talking about you.
Who’s bothered? It’s just a joke of an award but I get it gotta stroke the millionaire babies egos.
Bless your heart
Thanks baby cakes

Great job and well-deserved!
He’s got one helluva off-season skills & shooting coach, too!
