Ingles collected 34 first-place votes and 272 points, with New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose third with 77 points (one first-place vote).

To be eligible for the Kia NBA Sixth Man Award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started.

Clarkson established a career high in scoring (18.4 points per game) while collecting 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 26.7 minutes per game over 68 games (one start).

His scoring average of 18.3 points as a reserve was the highest in the NBA.

Clarkson, whose 208 made 3-pointers ranked seventh in the NBA this season, scored 40 points against the Philadelphia 76ers on Feb. 15 and 41 points against the Golden State Warriors on May 10, giving him two of the five 40-point games off the bench in Jazz history.

The Jazz trail their first-round playoff series against Memphis 1-0 with Game 2 set for Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, Utah.
