Immanuel Quickley named Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Quickley helped Toronto turn around a poor start to the road trip after losing to Western Conference Player of the Week Luka Doncic on Sunday, right before the turn to week 14. In that week, the Raptors went undefeated for the rest of the road trip, and Quickley averaged 25.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 61.1 field goal percentage. The highlight of his week and roadtrip came against the Golden State Warriors, in game two of the five-game trip, as he had a historic 40-point, 10-assist performance, joining Vince Carter as the second Raptor in franchise history to hit those marks in a single game. He also became the first player in NBA history to record 40+points, 10+assists, 5+ threes while shooting over 80 percent from the field.

The rest of the nominees for the Eastern Conference were Bam Adebayo, Norman Powell (Miami Heat), Jalen Duren (Detroit Pistons), Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks), Donovan Mitchell (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Coby White (Chicago Bulls).

For the Western Conference, it was Luka Doncic who took the honours of week 14’s Player of the Week. He led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 2-1 record while averaging 34.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game.

The Western Conference nominees were Saddiq Bey (New Orleans Pelicans), Kevin Durant (Houston Rockets), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder), James Harden (Los Angeles Clippers) and Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks).
