The Utah Jazz earned the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoffs this season, thanks in large part to a talented tandem off the bench.
Joe Ingles and former Mizzou guard Jordan Clarkson were both in contention for the NBA’s 6th Man of the Year award this season. But, obviously, only 1 guy can win it.
On Monday night, during a TNT pregame show, Ingles and Clarkson appeared for a segment. And, as you can see below, the TNT crew and Ingles surprised Clarkson with the news he’d won the award:
