NBA Hustle Award
{{Short description|Annual basketball award}}
{{NBA Awards}}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.{{Cite web |title=Patrick Beverley Wins Inaugural NBA Hustle Award |url=https://www.nba.com/stats/articles/patrick-beverley-wins-inaugural-nba-hustle-award |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523230739/https://www.nba.com/stats/articles/patrick-beverley-wins-inaugural-nba-hustle-award |archive-date=May 23, 2022 |access-date=May 23, 2022 |website=NBA.com}}
