For the third consecutive month, the NBA has named Kendrick Nunn the Eastern Conference KIA NBA Rookie of the Month - for games played in January.
After winning the award for Oct/Nov and December, Nunn became the first undrafted player in NBA history to earn the honor on multiple occasions and is the second HEAT rookie to earn Rookie of the Month more than once, joining Caron Butler (four times).
Nunn, an NBA All-Star Weekend Rising Stars selection, led all Eastern Conference rookies for the month in scoring average (16.8) while ranking second in points, assists, field goals made and plus/minus, fifth in three-point field goals made and tied for seventh in free throws made.
