The NBA announced that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was named the Western Conference Player of the Week for games played from Jan. 27-Feb. 2. Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell took home the same honors in the Eastern Conference.
James led the Lakers to a 3-1 record during the week with all of the games coming during their annual Grammy road trip. In the four games, LeBron averaged 27.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 10.0 assists while shooting 53.8% from the field. Included in that were wins over the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, and then most impressive of them all, a victory over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
