Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis have been named the NBA Players of the Week for Week 11.
The 23-year-old superstar had arguably the best week of his NBA career with averages of 48.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 10.7 assists during a 3-0 stretch for Dallas. He topped 50 points twice, including a historic 60-point, 21-rebound triple-double against the Knicks. Doncic is averaging 34.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.9 assists for the season and the Mavericks (21-16) are currently 4th in the West standings. This is Doncic’s second-straight Player of the Week award.
This man is on a tear.
