Jayson Tatum Secures 13th Career NBA Award, Seventh Consecutive Year
Jayson Tatum was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday. The honor followed a season-high 32-point outing in Sunday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Week performance
Boston went 3-0 during the week. Tatum averaged 25.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists in those games.
- Team record: 3-0
- Week averages: 25.7 PTS, 9.7 REB, 6.7 AST
Career milestone
This marks his 13th career Player of the Week honor. It also extends a streak into its seventh consecutive year of at least one weekly award.
The recognition adds another NBA accolade to his resume.
Season status and injury
Tatum is averaging 20.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 31 minutes per game this season. Those numbers come across 11 contests.
He will miss the second game of Boston’s back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. That will be his second missed game since he debuted on March 6.
That progress is notable after a torn Achilles 10 months ago.
