OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State’s Stephen Curry will be named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player this week, according to multiple reports.

Curry could be given the award as soon as today — an off-day for the Warriors during their second-round series against Memphis — and then there would be a pregame ceremony before Game 2 on Tuesday.

Curry will be the Warriors’ first MVP since the team moved from Philadelphia more than a half-century ago and the first in the history of the franchise since Wilt Chamberlain in 1960.

Curry averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, and 2 steals a game and shot 44.3 percent from 3-point distance — all in the league’s top 10.
