Jayson Tatum wins Player of the Week, nears Celtics franchise record

Jayson Tatum was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week following a strong performance during a 4-0 week for the Boston Celtics. He averaged 30.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists across four games. Tatum's week included a buzzer-beating game-winner against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks his 14th Player of the Week award, placing him third in Celtics history for this accolade, behind Paul Pierce and Larry Bird. If Tatum maintains his current level of play, he has the potential to surpass Bird and claim the franchise record.
