Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry has been named the NBA’s Eastern Conference player of the week.
Lowry averaged 24.5 points, 10 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 39.6 minutes while helping the injury-riddled Raptors go 4-0 last week.
The Philadelphia native had his franchise-best 13th career triple-double in a win in Detroit last Wednesday. The five-time NBA all-star finished the week with a game-high 32 points as the Raptors posted their largest comeback victory in franchise history, erasing a 30-point deficit to beat the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
It marks the sixth time Lowry has earned the honour.
