Heat receive votes but get shut out at 2018 NBA Awards Show

The Miami Heat’s rather turbulent 2018-19 NBA season wasn’t able to sway enough voters for the 2018 NBA Awards announced on TNT tonight, but the team did make appearances in the final voting results released by the NBA.

Udonis Haslem placed highest among any member of the Heat, finishing third in the player-voted 2018 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award with 1065 points (including 36 first place votes, 40 second place votes and 49 third place votes).

Wayne Ellington placed 5th in the results for the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award with nine points (with one second place vote and six third place votes). Kelly Olynyk received two second place votes and a third place vote for seven points and Dwyane Wade also grabbed a second place vote.

Josh Richardson received a single third place vote for the 2018 Kia NBA Most Improved Player Award, as did Erik Spoelstra for Coach of the Year and Pat Riley for Executive of the Year.
