The 2023-24 NBA season isn’t even over, yet Harrison Barnes is up for two end-of-year awards. On Tuesday, the Association announced the nominees for the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award, with the Kings’ forward among the finalists. “The annual honor recognizes the player deemed the best teammate based on selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team,” the NBA posted to social media. Twelve players are up for the award and current NBA players vote to select the winner. Joining Barnes are Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Mike Conley, Markelle Fultz, Al Horford, T.J. McConnell, Larry Nance Jr., Georges Niang, Dwight Powell and Jalen Williams.
