The NBA awards races are heating up. But in addition to the nightly on-court performances of the league’s brightest stars, fans (and voters) will have to keep an eye on whether or not the stars are actually, um, on the court.

Due to the NBA’s 65-game rule in which players must appear in 65 games over the course of the 82-game season in order to qualify for year-end awards, a number of injured stars — including Giannis Antetokounmpo and Stephen Curry — are already ineligible for regular-season honors. In addition, several other notable awards candidates are at risk of losing their eligibility with six weeks — and roughly 20 games — left in the season. Let’s take a look.

Players at risk of not qualifying for NBA awards

Under the league’s 65-game rule, players who miss 18 games will no longer be eligible for season-ending awards.
