Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was named the winner of the 2024-25 NBA Hustle Award on Friday.
Green, 35, averaged 9.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 68 games (66 starts) this season.
Green also ranked in the top 40 in the league in all nine hustle categories, which include deflections, loose balls recovered, charges drawn, screen assists, contested shots and box-outs.
The four-time All-Star and eight-time All-Defensive Team pick won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2016-17.
The Hustle Award honors a player "who makes the effort plays that do not often appear in the traditional box score but help determine team success," according to a league press release.
The award has been presented since 2016-17, with previous recipients including three-time winner Marcus Smart, Alex Caruso and Thaddeus Young.
