The Most Valuable Player (MVP) and other top awards like Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year are usually announced later, often spanning across the first two weeks of May. The MVP award for the 2024-25 season was announced on May 21, 2025, along with other key awards such as All-NBA teams and Defensive Player of the Year. Typically, the MVP award announcement timing varies but tends to be after the first round or early in the second round of the playoffs, sometimes coordinated with TV coverage on TNT. The official awards announcements for the 2024-25 season concluded by late May 2025.
