On the season, Thompson is averaging career highs of 22.8 points (tied for eighth), 3.0 assists, 1.29 steals and 0.95 blocks to go with 3.5 rebounds and 32.3 minutes in 41 games, hitting career marks of 48.1 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from three-point range (third) for the NBA-leading Warriors (36-6).
The award marks the 35th time a Warriors player has been named Player of the Week since the NBA began giving out the accolade in 1979. Thompson (three times) and Stephen Curry (once) have combined to win the award a franchise-record four times for the Warriors this season.
Cleveland’s LeBron James earned Player of the Week honors in the Eastern Conference.
