Victor Wembanyama and Jayson Tatum have been named the Players of the Week for the Western and Eastern Conferences, respectively. Both receive the honor for their performances from October 26 to November 1, in the second week of the 2026-27 season.
Tras un inicio de campaña demasiado errático para un jugador cuya coronilla casi roza el hierro (1 de 13 y 9 de 21 en tiros de campo en los dos primeros duelos) Wembanyama se fue entonando, y ha logrado acompañar una mejora ostensible en sus números con cuatro triunfos consecutivos para los Spurs. En los tres que computan para este premio semanal, el center ha firmado promedios de 36 puntos, 10,3 rebotes, 4,3 tapones, 2 robos y un 56,7% en tiros de campo. Sacramento, Utah y Minnesota fueron las tres víctimas.
After a start to the season that was too erratic for a player whose head almost brushed the rim (1-for-13 and 9-for-21 from the floor in the first two games), Wembanyama found his groove, and he has managed to accompany a noticeable improvement in his numbers with four straight Spurs wins. In the three games counted toward this weekly award, the center posted averages of 36 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 blocks, 2 steals, and 56.7% shooting from the field. Sacramento, Utah and Minnesota were the three victims.
En el Este, un Tatum que también arrancó con pie izquierdo en su noche inaugural ante Detroit (13 puntos con un 6 de 23 en su carro de tiro) se ha erigido en el líder que debe ser para una semana impoluta en Massachusetts, con cuatro victorias –Bulls (x2), Nets y Magic– en otros tantos partidos y medias de 30,3 puntos, 5,8 rebotes y 7 asistencias. Es el decimocuarto premio semanal de su carrera, lo que le sitúa a uno de Larry Bird (15) en la clasificación histórica de los Celtics, siendo Paul ‘Silverado’ Pierce quien encabeza la lista con 17.
In the East, a Tatum who also opened the season poorly in his opener against Detroit (13 points on 6-for-23 shooting) has established himself as the leader he should be for a pristine week in Massachusetts, with four wins — Bulls (x2), Nets, and Magic — in as many games and averages of 30.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7 assists. It marks the fourteenth weekly award of his career, placing him one behind Larry Bird (15) on the Celtics’ all-time list, with Paul “Silver Silverado” Pierce leading the way with 17.
Improbable que repita el alero como Player of the Week tras arrancar la nueva semana con derrota ante Houston, donde se quedó en 19 tantos con un 5 de 16 en lanzamientos.
It’s unlikely the forward repeats as Player of the Week after opening the new week with a loss to Houston, where he finished with 19 points on 5-for-16 shooting.
JT DOES HIS THING, 5 STRAIGHT WINS FOR BOSTON!
