Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo earned a major award after going 4-0 last week.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 5 of the 2024-25 season, NBA Communications announced Monday. San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes was crowned the Western Conference Player of the Week.
Antetokounmpo earned the award after leading the Bucks to four straight wins over the week prior. The win streak began with a one-point win over the Houston Rockets, who are currently 12-6. The Bucks followed this game up with double-digit wins over the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and a six-point win over the Charlotte Hornets.
After a slow 2-8 start to the season, Antetokounmpo has willed his team to win six of their last seven games, and each of their previous four contests. He and Damian Lillard have seen their chemistry improve on the court, which has contributed to their current win streak. The Bucks are now 8-9, and rank sixth in the Eastern Conference with room to keep rising up.
