Minnesota's Karl-Anthony Towns received the NBA Social Justice Award for his pursuit of social justice values and inclusion. He was chosen among finalists Bam Adebayo, C.J. McCollum, Lindy Waters III, and Russell Westbrook. All 30 teams nominate a player for this award.

Towns advocates for expanding voter rights in Minnesota. The Timberwolves had multiple award winners this month: Rudy Gobert for Defensive Player of the Year, Naz Reid for Sixth Man of the Year, and Mike Conley for Teammate of the Year.
