New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, along with his old Mavericks running mate and current Los Angeles Lakers leader Luka Doncic, has been [named](https://x.com/NBA/status/1995591675578916872) NBA Player of the Week for Week 6 of the 2025–26 season, putting a strong finish on the month of November for the Knicks.
Brunson put together a big-time stretch, averaging 28.8 points and 4.5 assists while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three. His play pushed New York to a perfect 4 and 0 week, giving Knicks fans plenty to be thankful for during the Holiday week.
The highlight of Brunson’s week came against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, as he led the Knicks with 37 points during a hard-fought 118-109 NBA Cup win.
Brunson had two other 30+ point performances against Orlando and Charlotte, as well as a 27-point performance against the cross-town rival Brooklyn Nets, and 28 points against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks.
This is the seventh time Brunson has taken home the Player of the Week honor. He is now just one away from tying Carmelo Anthony for the second most in Knicks history, with Patrick Ewing still holding the top spot.
The Knicks will be on the road on Tuesday, facing the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, before returning to MSG for a three-game homestand starting Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
