Giannis Antetokounmpo Named Eastern Conference Player Of The Week

MILWAUKEE (April 14, 2025) – Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 25 (April 7-13), the NBA announced today. This is Antetokounmpo’s second consecutive Player of the Week honor and his fourth overall this season.

Guiding the Bucks to a season-high eight-game win streak and perfect 4-0 record last week, Antetokounmpo played in three games and averaged 27.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 57.4% from the field. Antetokounmpo tipped off the week with his career-high-tying third consecutive triple-double, scoring 23 points, hauling in 13 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists in a win over Minnesota on April 8, before logging a 28-point, 11-rebound performance on April 10 vs. New Orleans. Antetokounmpo closed out the week with 32 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds in a win at Detroit on April 11 to help the Bucks clinch the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Antetokounmpo finished the regular season averaging 30.4 points (2nd in NBA), 11.9 rebounds (6th in NBA) and a career-high-tying 6.5 assists per game while shooting 60.1% from the field (6th in NBA). By averaging 30+ points on at least 60% shooting this season, Antetokounmpo has now tallied back-to-back seasons with those numbers after becoming the first player in NBA history to reach those figures during the 2023-24 campaign. Antetokounmpo also logged his third consecutive season with 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists per game, making him the only player in NBA history to tally three 30/10/5 seasons and the first player with multiple such seasons since Wilt Chamberlain (2 seasons, 1960-62).
