Los Angeles Lakers' Luka Doncic and Detroit Pistons' Cade Cunningham are eligible to win NBA end-of-season awards after successful appeals.
Traditionally, players must feature in a minimum of 65 regular season games to be eligible, but Cunningham played 63 and Doncic played 64.
Doncic, 27, and Cunningham, 24, both lodged challenges to the rule due to "extraordinary circumstances".
Cunningham missed 12 games with a collapsed lung, while Doncic missed two for the birth of his daughter in Slovenia - both reasons were cited by the NBA as part of the exemptions.
