DeMar DeRozan's strong post-All-Star break performance continued last week as the Chicago Bulls embarked on a four-game West Coast road trip. For his efforts, the NBA honored DeRozan with the Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors for March 4-10.
DeRozan averaged 29.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game to help the Bulls go 3-1 for the week.
The veteran was especially clutch on March 7 against the Golden State Warriors when he made a pair of late-game contested midrange shots to help the Bulls seal a 125-122 victory. His clutch-time efforts were extremely fitting of his nickname, "King of the Fourth."
This marks the 15th time in DeRozan's career he's received a Player of the Week award and the first time since February of 2022.
