Harrison Barnes of the San Antonio Spurs was named the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Week, according to a news release.
Barnes is the first Spurs player to earn Player of the Week honors since DeMar DeRozan in 2020.
Last week, Barnes helped the Spurs to a 3-0 record with wins over the Thunder, Jazz and Warriors.
During the three-game slate, Barnes averaged 22.3 points per game and 8-7 rebounds while shooting 62% from the field.
Barnes recorded his first double-double since 2022 after finishing with 25 points and 10 rebounds versus the Jazz.
The 13-year NBA veteran did not commit a single turnover in any of the three games, the release mentioned.
By winning the award, Barnes set an NBA record for being the most seasoned player to earn Player of the Week honors for the first time. The previous record was held by Mike Conley and Jrue Holiday.
