Celtics' Derrick White wins NBA's Sportsmanship Award, as selected by the league's players

Derrick White of the Boston Celtics is the NBA's Sportsmanship Award winner for this season, as selected by his fellow players across the league.

White got 20% of the first-place votes from the 386 players who cast ballots. TJ McConnell of the Indiana Pacers — who actually got more first-place votes, almost 22% — was second, while Harrison Barnes of the San Antonio Spurs was third and Al Horford of the Golden State Warriors was fourth.

Barnes and Horford both got 19% of the first-place votes that were cast.

Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat (11% of first-place votes) was fifth and Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander — the only repeat finalist from last season — was sixth after getting just under 10% of the first-place votes.

White will receive the Joe Dumars Trophy, named for the Basketball Hall of Famer, a two-time champion and the inaugural winner of the sportsmanship award after the 1995-96 season. Dumars now leads basketball operations for the New Orleans Pelicans.

“Derrick has represented everything that is good about the game since he entered the league,” Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens said. “The Sportsmanship Award is a deserved honor because of how Derrick consistently carries himself both on and off the court. In every way, Derrick exemplifies what it means to be a Celtic and is more than deserving of this honor.”

Each of the NBA’s 30 teams nominated one player for the sportsmanship award, and that list was narrowed to six finalists — one from each division.

The sportsmanship award is the fourth award to be announced by the NBA since the end of the regular season. The others:

— San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama — just 22 years old — became the youngest Defensive Player of the Year, and the first to win the award in a unanimous vote.

— Gilgeous-Alexander nearly became the first unanimous winner of the Clutch Player of the Year award. He got 96 of a possible 100 first-place votes.

— San Antonio's Keldon Johnson topped Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. for Sixth Man of the Year, getting 63 first-place votes.

The league's Most Improved Player — either Atlanta's Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Portland's Deni Avdija or Detroit's Jalen Duren — will be announced Friday.

Other announcements that have yet to be scheduled include MVP (either Gilgeous-Alexander, Wembanyama or Denver's Nikola Jokic), Coach of the Year (either Detroit's J.B. Bickerstaff, San Antonio's Mitch Johnson or Boston's Joe Mazzulla), and Rookie of the Year (either Philadelphia's VJ Edgecombe, Dallas' Cooper Flagg or Charlotte's Kon Knueppel).

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tyer Glasnow and Tanner Scott combined on a one-hitter and the Los Angeles Dodgers avoided a three-game series sweep with a 3-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

Kyle Tucker and Hyeseong Kim had two hits apiece as the NL West-leading Dodgers won for the second time in six games. Kim and Dalton Rushing each had an RBI. Shohei Ohtani finished 0 for 5 with two strikeouts.

Glasnow (3-0), who has never pitched a complete game in the majors, struck out nine and allowed one hit and a walk in eight innings. The 32-year-old right-hander threw 105 pitches, 69 for strikes, and retired the final 14 batters he faced.

Scott got the final three outs in his first save of the season as the Dodgers notched their second shutout of the season.

Los Angeles also got a boost from its offense.

Held to one run in the first two games of the series, the Dodgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead on Rushing’s RBI single off Giants starter Logan Web with two out in the second.

Los Angeles made it 3-0 in the fourth when Muncy doubled and scored on center fielder Drew Gilbert’s throwing error. Kim added a two-out RBI single.

Luis Arraez singled in the first for the Giants' only hit.

San Francisco had only one runner get past first base and lost for the second time in seven games.

Webb (2-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings and finished with five strikeouts and two walks.

Giants RHP Adrian Houser (0-2, 5.40 ERA, unbeaten in five career appearances against the Marlins, faces Miami on Friday. RHP Sandyy Alcantara (2-2, 3.06) pitches for the Marlins.
