Giannis Antetokounmpo and Deandre Ayton went face-to-face in the 2021 NBA Finals, and today, their paths have crossed again.
The two-time NBA MVP and former No. 1 overall pick were named the NBA’s Players of the Week, the league announced.
Antetokounmpo averaged 35.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, leading the Milwaukee Bucks to a 3-1 record this week. Antetokounmpo’s week started with a 37-point performance in a win against the Portland Trail Blazers, and followed that up with three more 30-point outings.
Ayton posted a double-double in each of the Phoenix Suns’ three victories.
