The NBA has named San Antonio Spurs centre Victor Wembanyama and Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum as its Players of the Week for the second week of the regular season. In the Western Conference, Wembanyama led the Spurs to victory in all three of their games, against Sacramento, Utah and Minnesota. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year averaged 36.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals and 4.3 blocks. Phenomenal numbers. Over in the East, Tatum steered Boston to a 4-0 week and sank the game-winner in overtime against Brooklyn.
Back from a ruptured Achilles tendon, the 28-year-old Tatum averaged 30.3 points, 7.0 assists and 5.8 rebounds. Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic were also among the nominees in the West, while Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tyrese Maxey were in contention in the East.
