In Short
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won his second straight NBA MVP, with Victor Wembanyama finishing third in voting.
Kalshi's quadruple-double contract for Wembanyama trades around 3 cents, implying roughly a 3% chance before July 14.
Remaining playoff games are the final window for Wembanyama to reach double digits in four stat categories.
What Happened
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander claimed his second consecutive NBA MVP award for the 2025-26 season, announced May 18. Nikola Jokic finished second, with Victor Wembanyama third in what Yahoo Sports described as a tight race all year. The result cements Wembanyama's standing among the league's elite, and with the playoffs still ongoing and potentially running into July, the 21-year-old has time left to chase historic stat lines on the biggest stage.
The Market
The SGA All-Pro First Team contract KXNBA1STTEAM-26-SGIL is effectively settled at 99 cents with no meaningful action remaining. The contract worth watching is KXQUADRUPLEDOUBLE-25-VWEM, which asks whether Wembanyama will record a quadruple-double at any point this season, playoffs included. It last traded at 3 cents, implying roughly a 3% chance. The contract has drawn over 390,000 in open interest and logged 2,570 in 24-hour volume, reflecting genuine two-sided interest even at this price. It closes July 14, leaving several weeks of playoff runway.
What To Watch
Every Wembanyama playoff game before July 14 is a potential catalyst. A single performance with 10-plus points, rebounds, blocks, and assists would resolve the contract to 100 cents immediately. Blowouts are worth monitoring, since lopsided games tend to give Wembanyama the extended minutes and freedom needed to accumulate across all four categories. Elimination games could also push his usage and intensity to levels where a quadruple-double looks more achievable than 3 cents implies.
