Stephen Curry Named Western Conference Player of the Week | Nov. 7-13, 2022

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has been named the Week 4 Western Conference Player of the Week, the NBA announced today. The award marks the 19^th career weekly recognition for the 14-year veteran.

Curry led all Western Conference scorers with 38.0 points per game on 64.1% from the field and 50.0% from 3-point range (16-of-32 3FG) to go with 6.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 36.2 minutes per game during Golden State’s 2-1 week. Curry followed a season-high 47-point performance in a win over Sacramento on Nov. 7 with 40 points in a win over Cleveland on Nov. 11, becoming the oldest player to record back-to-back 40-point games since Michael Jordan did so in 2002. In Monday’s win over the Kings, Curry tallied 47 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and zero turnovers, becoming the first player to post those numbers since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Curry also extended his NBA-record streak to 201 consecutive regular season games with at least one 3-pointer.

On the season, Curry ranks second in the NBA with 32.8 points per game on 52.6% from the field, 43.4% from 3-point range and 91.8% from the free throw line, adding 6.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.08 steals in 35.2 minutes per game. The reigning NBA Finals MVP has scored at least 30 points in nine of his first 12 games to begin the season.

The award marks the 57th time a Warriors player has been named Player of the Week since the NBA began giving out the award in 1979. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid was named Player of the Week in the Eastern Conference.
