Turkoglu, Miller honored by NBA

Feb 4, 2008 - 8:13 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- For the second straight week, Orlando Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

Sacramento Kings center Brad Miller earned the honor in the Western Conference, the NBA announced on Monday.

Turkoglu guided Orlando to a 3-0 week, posting averages of 24.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists, helping the Southeast Division-leading Magic improve to 31-18.

Turkoglu recorded a season-high eight assists on Saturday in a 121-115 win at Indiana and led or tied in assists in all three of Orlando's games last week.

Miller posted double-doubles in each of Sacramento's three games last week, helping the Kings to a 3-0 record.

Miller set a career high with 21 rebounds on Wednesday against Charlotte, 18 of which came on the defensive end, setting a Sacramento single-game record. He also recorded two 20-point, 20-rebound games, joining Chris Webber as the only players in Kings history to record multiple 20-point, 20-rebound efforts.
