For the first time, Rudy Gobert has been recognized as one of the NBA’s Players of the Week.
The NBA announced Gobert was named the Western Conference Player of the Week the games between March 11 and 17. During that stretch, he averaged 16.5 points on 69.4 percent shooting, 15.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. Including a monster game against the Nets that he played while being sick.
It’s the Jazz’s third Player of the Week honor this season, as Donovan Mitchell earned two of them — one in January, one in February — for his scoring exploits.
