Jrue Holiday Named Eastern Conference Player of the Week
MILWAUKEE (Jan. 23, 2023) – Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 14 (Jan. 16-22), the NBA announced today.
Leading the Bucks to a 2-1 record last week, Holiday averaged 33.3 points, 9.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 56.9% from the field and 47.8% from three. In back-to-back games, Holiday set a new season-high in scoring, first scoring 35 points in a win over the Pacers on Monday, before scoring a season-high 37 points in Tuesday’s win over the Raptors. This marked the first time in his career scoring 35+ points in consecutive games.
In his third season with the Bucks and 14th in the NBA, Holiday is averaging 19.6 points, 7.5 assists (T-8th in NBA), 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.7 minutes per game. He’s also shooting 46.6% overall and 38.4% from three, knocking down a career-high 2.4 threes a game.
This is the second time Holiday has earned Player of the Week honors in his career after previously doing so for Week 13 during the 2020-21 season. He joins Giannis Antetokounmpo (two times) as Bucks to be named Player of the Week this season.
