The Lithuanian Indiana Pacers was among the five nominees for the award, but it ultimately went to Atlanta Hawks leader Trae Young.
D. Sabonis played four games last week, averaging 18 points each, bouncing 13.8 balls and making 10.8 assists, with the Pacers winning three of Domo’s four games.
Sabonis was among the contenders for player of the week despite an injury in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday that prevented him from playing the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. However, the rested Lithuanian had already stepped onto the floor on Sunday and punished the Toronto Raptors team with a successful game.
Young, who became the most useful player of the week, averaged 24.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.5 assists last week, with the Hawks winning all four times and finishing fifth in the East in the regular season.
Damian Lillard, who was named the most useful player of the week in the Western Conference, averaged 31.8 points, bounced 4.8 balls and passed 6.8 passes, leading the Portland Trail Blazers to three wins in four games.
15 minutes remember that D. Sabonis became the most useful player of the week in the first week of this season last December.
Their Pacers took ninth place in the Eastern Conference and will play the Charlotte Hornets in the play-in Tuesday through Wednesday. In the event of a loss, the Pacers season will end.
