With 27.3 points and 9.3 assists on average, and three victories (Detroit, Denver and Houston), Brandon Ingram was chosen as “Player of the Week” in the West by the NBA. The Pelicans winger is more passer than ever, with the last two games at 12 assists, and he missed his team’s only loss (Cleveland) this week.
In the East, Pascal Siakam was chosen with 24.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists on average, and above all four wins (Atlanta x2, Miami and Chicago) in four games for the Raptors.
Two returns to the fore since Brandon Ingram had won his last “Player of the Week” title in October 2020. It went back to January 2020 for Pascal Siakam.
