Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, October 15, 2026 —
An annual survey of NBA general managers predicts that San Antonio Spurs player Victor Wembanyama will win the league’s Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards and lead the Spurs to an NBA championship. NBA.com released the poll results.
The survey presents predictions about the season’s potential individual and team outcomes. It does not report that Wembanyama has won either award or that the Spurs have secured a championship. Those outcomes are forecasts in the poll, not confirmed results.
The information provided about the survey does not include the number of general managers who participated, how responses were collected, or the vote totals for each prediction. It also does not specify when the poll was conducted or provide additional findings from the survey.
Wembanyama is identified in the poll as the predicted winner of both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards. The survey also forecasts that he will lead San Antonio to a league title. The summary of the results does not explain the reasoning behind those choices or indicate how strongly respondents favored them.
With those details unavailable, the reported findings establish the survey’s central predictions but do not show the level of agreement among general managers or the basis for their assessments. The poll results were released by NBA.com; no further information about its methodology or timing was provided.
