Luka Doncic wins West Player of the Week for 2nd time this season

The Dallas Mavericks keep climbing the standings behind superstar Luka Doncic. The 23-year-old has been unstoppable since returning from a ten-game absence in January. Over his last 30 games, Doncic has averaged 30.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game as the Mavericks have produced the second-best record in the league.

It was a slow start to the year for number 77 as he showed up a bit out of shape. Luka used it as motivation and added fuel by missing out on starting the 2022 All-Star game in Cleveland. He made his third All-Star appearance, but it was the first time he did not start the contest on the floor. It has motivated Doncic to play the best basketball of his career and made the Mavericks a force in the Western Conference.

The accolades keep rolling in for the Mavs superstar. He is the reigning Western Conference Player of the Month, and just won West Player of the Week for the second time this season on March 14. Here is a look at his latest run.
