Luka Doncic wins Western Conference Player of the Week award again
For the second week in a row, Luka Doncic has been named the NBA's Western Conference Player of the Week.
The Los Angeles Lakers are red-hot, and the biggest reason they came into Monday with a nine-game winning streak was the play of Luka Doncic. In those nine games, he averaged 40 points a game on 49% shooting from the field and 40. 3% from 3-point range.
Last week, he scored 36 and 40 points in two games against the Houston Rockets on Monday and Wednesday. He then erupted for 60 points on 18-of-30 overall shooting and 9-of-17 from downtown on Thursday versus the Miami Heat before posting 33 points in Saturday's win over the Orlando Magic. Doncic had already been named the Western Conference Player of the Week for the week that ended on March 15.
He has earned that honor once again. Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Donฤiฤ and Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball have been named the NBA Western and Eastern Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for Week 22 of the 2025-26 season (March 16-22). pic.
