For the first time in a long time, more than one former Notre Dame player played in NBA games over the course of a week. Having recovered from a torn MCL, San Antonio Spurs rookie Blake Wesley made his return in front of an NBA-record crowd at the Alamodome. The Golden State Warriors saw him record two points and one rebound, and the Sacramento Kings saw him score five points, a rebound and an assist. In the two games, he averaged 3.5 points.
Pat Connaughton had an incredible scoring week for the Milwaukee Bucks, reaching double figures in three of his four games. He saved his best game for last, scoring 14 points and grabbing eight rebounds against the Miami Heat. He also recorded a steal in three of the week’s four games. For the week, he averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists a game while shooting 38.1% from the field, mainly in the form of 3-pointers.
