The Boston Celtics have announced via press release that star forward Jaylen Brown has been named Player of the Week for the NBA’s Eastern Conference last week by the league. “Brown earns his third career nod and this award marks the 67th overall honor for a Celtics player in franchise history,” wrote Boston of the Georgia native’s honor after a torrid week of scoring for the Celtics on the court.
“Brown joins Derrick White (2/12) and Jayson Tatum (10/23) as the third player to receive the recognition this season,” added the team’s PR department. “The last team to have three players earn a weekly honor in a single season was Toronto (2019-20).”
