End of Month update:



OIP.YpoFfCvw2T2_a4TNyigZPwAAAA



Big Man of the Month for January is Victor Wembanyama. Wemby finished with four awards, Embiid and Şengün tied for second with three.

Not as good a month for the Honorable Mentions as December, with only fourteen men earning the honor at least once in January, although we did still see three players earning BMOtN as an Honorable Mention.



Big Man of the Month, season-to-date:

October: Victor Wembanyama
November: Nikola Jokić
December: Anthony Davis
January: Victor Wembanyama

For the sake of convenience, the following players will be temporarily suspended from the Nightly Top Tier Big Man listing, until they have been cleared to return from injury:

Anthony Davis (DAL)
Zach Edey (MEM)
Domantas Sabonis (SAC)
Ivica Zubac (LAC)

Big Man of the Month for February is Victor Wembanyama. Wemby once again finished with four awards, this time with Jokić finishing second with three.

Another month of decline on the Honorable Mentions front, as only twelve earned the distinction in February, and only two players earned BMOtN as an Honorable Mention.



Big Man of the Month, season-to-date:

October: Victor Wembanyama
November: Nikola Jokić
December: Anthony Davis
January: Victor Wembanyama
February: Victor Wembanyama

A March victory for anyone other than Nikola Jokić would effectively clinch Big Man of the Year for Wembanyama.

=========================================

Due to earning five Honorable Mentions in November, the following player(s) will receive probationary addition to the nightly Top Tier Big Man listing:

Jarrett Allen (CLE)

For the sake of convenience, the following players will be temporarily suspended from the Nightly Top Tier Big Man listing, until they have been cleared to return from injury:

Anthony Davis (WAS)
Zach Edey (MEM)
Domantas Sabonis (SAC)
Ivica Zubac (IND)
