Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 16 (Jan. 30-Feb. 5), the NBA announced today.

Leading the Bucks to a 3-0 record last week, pushing their winning streak to seven games, Antetokounmpo averaged 41.0 points, 17.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 58.5% from the field. He started the week with a 34-point, 18-rebound performance in a win over the Hornets on Tuesday before tallying his third 50-point game of the season with 54 points and 19 rebounds in Thursday’s comeback win over the Clippers. Antetokounmpo ended the week by posting his third triple-double of the season in Saturday’s win over the Heat with 35 points, 15 rebounds and a season-high-tying 11 assists.
Antetokounmpo is now averaging 32.4 points (3rd in NBA), 12.4 rebounds (T-1st in NBA) and 5.3 assists per game this season while shooting 53.9% from the field. This is the 21st time in his career, and fourth time this season, that Antetokounmpo has won Player of the Week.
