Giannis Antetokounmpo Named Eastern Conference Player Of The Week

MILWAUKEE (April 7, 2025) – Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 24 (March 31-April 6), the NBA announced today. This is Antetokounmpo’s third Player of the Week honor this season and the 26th of his career.

Leading the Bucks to a four-game win streak and perfect 4-0 record last week, Antetokounmpo appeared in three games and averaged 36.0 points, 13.7 assists, 12.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 63.8% from the field. Antetokounmpo opened the week with a 37-point, 11-assist performance in a win over Phoenix on April 1 before scoring 35 points, dishing out a career-best 20 assists and hauling in 17 rebounds on April 3 at Philadelphia to become the first player in NBA history to have 35+ points, 20+ assists and 15+ boards in a game. He finished the week with 36 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in an overtime win over Miami on April 5, which made him the first player since Wilt Chamberlain (March 16-18, 1968) to record consecutive 35-point/15-rebound triple-doubles.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.5 points (2nd in NBA), 11.9 rebounds (6th in NBA) and 6.3 assists per game this season while shooting 60.2% from the field (6th in NBA). He has scored 30+ points in each of his last seven games, matching the longest such streak in the NBA this season and the second-longest of his career, and he’s dished out 10+ assists in a career-high-tying three straight games. Helping the Bucks clinch their ninth consecutive playoff berth and post a 44-34 record overall this season, Antetokounmpo is on pace to tally the second season in NBA history with 30+ points on at least 60% shooting after he became the first player in league history to reach those figures in a season during the 2023-24 campaign.
