Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram have been named Players of the Week for April 6-12, the NBA announced.
James earned the Western Conference honor after averaging 24.0 points, 9.7 assists, and 6.0 rebounds, leading the Lakers to three straight wins to close the season and secure home-court advantage despite missing Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
He recorded back-to-back double-doubles, including 26 points and 11 assists at Golden State and 28 points with 12 assists against Phoenix.
In the East, Ingram averaged 25.5 points on 57.8% shooting as Toronto went 3-1 to finish the season and clinch the No. 5 seed.
He highlighted his week with a season-high 38 points, along with seven rebounds and seven assists, in a win over Miami.
It’s the first Player of the Week award this season for both players – the 70th of James’ career and the fifth for Ingram.
