The market is framed around Kevin Durant winning the award, but the resolution text describes a multi-candidate or categorical market resolving to whichever player wins, or resolving to 'Other' if no winner is named by June 30, 2027. Participants should note the arbitrary tie-breaker rule, which resolves solely to the winner whose last name comes first alphabetically if co-winners are named. Additionally, while the primary source is official NBA announcements, the market permits fallback to a consensus of credible reporting, leaving minor room for interpretive discretion.
