NBA Hustle Award

The Hustle Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given since 2017 to players that "best utilize hustle to help their teams win on a nightly basis." The award is decided using a metric known as "hustle stats," which tracks defensive and offensive efforts such as diving for loose balls, taking charges, deflections, setting screens, and contesting shots.^[1]

Patrick Beverley was the inaugural winner of the award. The only multi-time winner is Marcus Smart, who has won the award three times.
