He did it again.
The NBA has named Sacramento Kings guard De’Aaron Fox as the Western Conference Player of the Week following another dominant stretch from the All-Star talent.
During three games from November 27th through December 3rd, Fox averaged 31.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 50 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range.
Fox, who has won Player of the Week five times during his NBA career, trails only Chris Webber (7) for the most honors in Kings franchise history.
