The big premiere of Jalen Duren
“Players of the Week” trophies were awarded. Anthony Edwards to the West and Jalen Duren to the East.
On the Minnesota side, “Ant” confirms its status they are the best player in the all star game. Still among the league’s top scorers, the Wolves guard remains on a strong streak since All-Star weekend (more than 30 points per game) and has added weight in recent wins, including one against Portland (34 points) before the big win in Denver. Minnesota, behind its leader, is back among the top four of the Western Conference…
In Detroit, Jalen Duren established himself as a reference player in the interior of the Eastern Conference. The Pistons averaged 25.8 points and 13.8 rebounds on the week, leading his team to three wins in four games. Between his near circle finish, rebounding presence and physical intensity, he embodies one of the faces of a team on the rise…and wins the first Player of the Week trophy of his career.
He was preferred over teammate Cade Cunningham, Jaylen Brunson (New York), Jonathan Cummings (Atlanta), Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia) and Brandon Miller (Charlotte) when Anthony Edwards beat out Sadik Bey (New Orleans), Luka Doncic (LA Lakers), Kevin Durant (Oklas Durant) and Oklax G. City).
For teammate Rudy Gobert, this is the third time he has been awarded since his debut in the NBA.
