Kevin Durant will be named NBA MVP early next week, according to sources.

The most likely scenario will be a press conference on Tuesday and a pregame ceremony before the Oklahoma City Thunder meet the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.

Durant led the league in scoring during the regular season with 32 points per game. He would become the first player to win both the scoring title and MVP award in the same season since Allen Iverson did it in 2000-01.

The NBA took a week off from announcing awards following the Donald Sterling scandal.
