The Toronto Raptors announced Monday that forward Chris Bosh was named NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, January 30 through Sunday, February 5. This is the second time Bosh has won the honour, having earned the award for January 3-9, 2005.

Bosh led the Raptors to a 2-1 record, averaging a conference-high 30.3 points on .534 shooting from the field and .853 from the free throw line, 12.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists. He led the team in scoring in all three games. He registered 33 points, the first time he had topped 30 points in a home game, going 14-of-19 from the floor and five for five from the line, with 13 rebounds and four assists in a 117-112 win February 1 versus Washington. He had 29 points, going 15-of-17 from the free throw line, and seven rebounds in a 104-90 win over New York on February 3. He finished the week with 29 points, 16 rebounds, eight on the offensive end, and a career-high tying six assists in a 115-113 overtime loss versus the Los Angeles Clippers.

A product of Georgia Tech in his third season, Bosh leads the team in scoring (22.9), rebounding (9.2) and field goal percentage (.503). He is the only player in the league to average at least 22 points and shoot better than 50 per cent from the floor and 80 per cent from the free throw line (.806). He ranks eighth in the NBA in double-doubles with 21.

Bosh's teammate Mike James won the award earlier this season for the week of January 2-8. This is the 11th player of the week honour for a Raptor, and Bosh becomes the first multiple winner since Vince Carter. Chris Paul of the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets was named the NBA Western Conference Player of the Week.
