NBA set to honor outstanding players in Seeding Games

Bubble ballers will get their due.

The NBA announced on Tuesday that they are set to honor top performers during the Seeding Games with the Kia NBA All-Seeding Games Team, as well as the Kia NBA Player of the Seeding Games.

The league had recently revealed the finalists for the 2019-20 Kia NBA Performance Awards, as well as its NBA Coach of the Year, which were based on performances before the league suspended play back in March. As a result, performances that are currently taking place during the Seeding Games would not count.

A panel of sportswriters and broadcaster who are on-site inside the Walt Disney World Resort complex in Florida are tasked to pick both the Player of the Seeding Games and the All-Seeding Games team, the latter of which will have a First Team and a Second Team. Media members will pick five of each from any position from either conference to comprise each team.

The winners will be revealed on Saturday, August 15, before the lone play-in game scheduled at 230pm (August 16 at 230am in Manila). The 8th seed will have a twice-to-beat advantage over the 9th seed. Sunday (Monday in Manila) has been set aside if the 9th seed wins on Saturday.

The NBA playoffs is set to commence on Monday, August 17 (Tuesday, August 18 in Manila).
