Jayson Tatum added another accomplishment to his impressive comeback from an Achilles tear. The Celtics forward has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, according to the league (Twitter links). Nikola Jokic collected the Western Conference Player of the Week honors.
Boston’s star averaged 25.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists in three victories. The weekly honors cover games played March 23-29. As for Jokic, he averaged an impressive triple-double of 26 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists in four Nuggets wins last week.
Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves (Lakers), Darius Garland and Kawhi Leonard (Clippers), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder), Jamal Murray (Nuggets), Alperen Sengun (Rockets) and Victor Wembanyama (Spurs) were the other West nominees. Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Hawks), Scottie Barnes (Raptors), Jalen Brunson (Knicks), Jalen Duren (Pistons), James Harden (Cavaliers) and Payton Pritchard (Celtics) rounded out the nominees from the East.
Amazing by Tatum.
Nice job media. I’m sure plenty of East players had a better week than Tatum in wins, stats, and efficiency lol
Embrace the gap year…LETS GO CELTICS.
Gap year just meant that Boston was going to showcase the gap between their talent and most of the league. JB had haters and doubters even after his finals MVP. Those folks sound more stupid than ever.
Hahaha love it. I do miss the media trying to drive a wedge between the two J’s and get one of them traded. Can’t co exist, jealousy etc.
I think their winning percentage as a star duo is quite high, lols.
Yeah I am quite sure they appreciate having eachother as teammates.
