Myisha Hines-Allen has been having quite the season debut and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. The WNBA announced that Hines-Allen is the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played from July 25 – Aug. 2. This marks her first Player of the Week win.
Hines-Allen led the Mystics to a 3-1 record, with wins over the Indiana Fever (101-76 ), Connecticut Sun (94-89) and Seattle Storm (89-71). For the week, she averaged 17.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game. The third year forward totaled 15+ points and seven-plus rebounds in three of the Mystics’ four games, tying DeWanna Bonner (CON) as the only Eastern Conference players to post at least 15 points and seven rebounds in three or more games.
Below are her thoughts about receiving the honor:
