Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Hawks guard Trae Young have been named the NBA’s Players of the Week, the league announced on Monday (via Twitter).
Gilgeous-Alexander won for the Western Conference, while Young claimed the East’s award.
Gilgeous-Alexander, the presumed frontrunner for the 2024/25 MVP award after finishing runner-up last season, averaged 44.0 points, 6.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 1.3 blocks on .540/.400/1.000 shooting in victories over Memphis, Houston and Denver last week. He missed one game, which Oklahoma City also won (against Portland).
