Raptors' Kawhi Leonard named NBA Eastern Conference Player of Week image

Kawhi Leonard keeps on impressing in his first season as a Toronto Raptor. 

Leonard was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week by the NBA on Monday. He averaged 30.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in an undefeated three-game stretch for Toronto with wins over the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards.

 

 

Leonard's dominating week was highlighted by his 41-point, 11 rebound performance during the team's double overtime victory over the Wizards on Sunday

This marks the second time this season that Leonard has been honored as player of the week. The first time he received the honor was in December. Leonard isn't the only Raptor to be named player of the week this season as  Pascal Siakam earned the honor back in November. 

Leonard and the Raptors will look to continue their winning ways when they travel to Boston to face the Celtics (25-17) on Wednesday.
