Brook Lopez has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, the NBA announced. It's the first Player of the Week honor for the Nets this season. It's his third time winning the honor, having been named player of the week twice during last spring's playoff push.
Lopez led the Nets to a 2-1 week, averaging 26.7 ppg, 13.3 rpg and 2.3 bpg in 37.5 mpg and shooting 42.4 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the free throw line. In the three-game stretch, Lopez totaled three double-doubles and one 30-point game, while leading or tying for the team-lead in scoring and rebounding in all three games.
