65-Game Rule
Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart, who calls himself the NBA's best defender, must play at least 20 minutes in each of the team's remaining 19 games to qualify for end-of-season awards. He leads the league in defensive field goal percentage at the rim for the second straight year, with opponents shooting just 42.7% against him. Stewart has expressed frustration with the league's 65-game rule, which he believes disadvantages dedicated players.

The NBA's 65-game eligibility rule for season-ending awards has put several star players in jeopardy as the regular season nears its end. Players missing 18 or more games become ineligible, with some top performers already out of contention. Others have limited games left to qualify.
