Louisville men’s basketball senior guard El Ellis has been named ACC Co-Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.
This is the first weekly award of Ellis’ career, and he’s the first Cardinal to earn Player of the Week honors since David Johnson did so on Dec. 28, 2020.
Ellis averaged 24.5 points and 4.5 rebounds last week across Louisville’s 83-73 win over Clemson on Saturday and its narrow 61-58 loss to No. 7 Virginia on Wednesday.
The Durham, N.C., native played 78 of 80 possible minutes in both games and shot 55% from the field, 50% from 3-point range and 85% from the free-throw line.
