Kyle Anderson nominated for NBA Awards 'Assist of the Year'

The Spurs' Kyle Anderson may be nicknamed "Slow-Mo," but he has some moments of pretty quick thinking on the court.

One of those moments, during the team's March 5 win over the Grizzlies, has been nominated for NBA Awards "Assist of the Year," Turner and the NBA announced on Wednesday.

Anderson saved the ball from going out of bounds and made a cross-body alley-oop pass to Davis Bertans.
