This is the second time this season that Jokic has earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors, also doing so from Monday Nov. 6th to Sunday Nov. 12th.
The Serb big man averaged 23.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 2.33 steals and 1.00 blocks while helping the Nuggets go 3-0 during the week. He also shot .510 from the field and .429 from three during this stretch. He joined LeBron James as the only players to average 23+ points, 10+ rebounds and 9+ assists in that span, and he was the only player to reach those numbers while averaging 2+ steals as well.
Jokic started the week by registering 30 points, six rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 31 minutes of action in a home win over Indiana on Apr. 3rd. He then recorded a near triple-double with 16 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists in another must-win game at home over Minnesota on Apr. 5th. He capped off the week with his ninth triple-double of the season, tallying 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists on the road at the Clippers on Apr. 7th.
