{{NBA Awards}}
The '''NBA's Defensive Player of the Year Award''' is an annual [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA) award given since the [[1982–83 NBA season]] to the best defensive player of the regular season. The winner is selected by a panel of 124 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada, each of whom casts a vote for first, second and third place selections. Each first-place vote is worth five points, second-place votes are worth three points, and a third-place vote is worth one. The player with the highest point total, regardless of the number of first-place votes, wins the award.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/news/camby_defensiveplayer_070427.html |title=Nuggets' Camby Wins NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award|access-date=July 7, 2008 |date=May 1, 2007 |publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc |work=NBA.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108103334/http://www.nba.com/news/camby_defensiveplayer_070427.html|archive-date=November 8, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="garnett">{{cite web |url=http://www.nba.com/news/garnett_defensive_080422.html |title=Kevin Garnett Wins Defensive Player of the Year Award|access-date=July 10, 2008 |date=April 25, 2008 |publisher=Turner Sports Interactive, Inc |work=NBA.com|archive-url=https://wwwarchive.webcitation.orgtoday/20120629161405/65arS45Kh?url=http://www.nba.com/news/garnett_defensive_080422.html|archive-date=FebruaryJune 2029, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> Since the [[2022–23 NBA season]], winners receive the '''[[Hakeem Olajuwon]] Trophy''', named after the two-time defensive player of the year winner.

Effective with the [[2023–24 NBA season|2023–24 season]], when a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and [[National Basketball Players Association|its players' union]] takes effect, players must appear in at least 65 games to be eligible for most major regular-season awards, including Defensive Player of the Year. To receive credit for a game for purposes of award eligibility, a player must have been credited with at least 20 minutes played. However, two "near misses", in which the player appeared for 15 to 19 minutes, can be included in the 65-game count. Protections also exist for players who suffer season-ending injuries, who are eligible with 62 credited games, and those affected by what the CBA calls "bad faith circumstances".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/more-details-emerge-on-new-nba-cba-including-details-on-65-game-threshold-for-awards |title=More details emerge on new NBA CBA, including details on 65-game threshold for awards |first=Kurt |last=Helin |work=NBC Sports |date=April 18, 2023 |access-date=June 28, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://imgix.cosmicjs.com/25da5eb0-15eb-11ee-b5b3-fbd321202bdf-Final-2023-NBA-Collective-Bargaining-Agreement-6-28-23.pdf |title=Article XXIX, Section 6: Games Played Requirement for Certain League Honors |work=NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement |publisher=National Basketball Players Association |pages=432–38 |date=July 2023 |access-date=September 13, 2023}} The games played requirement specifically applies to the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and Most Improved Player awards, as well as the All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams.</ref>
