On Monday the NBA’s Development League named Kyle Anderson as their Performer of the Week, for the games played during the week of February 2nd through the 8th.
Anderson, on assignment from the San Antonio Spurs, has been on an absolute tear for the Austin Spurs since being assigned in January. But this past week he led the Spurs to two solid back-to-back wins over the Grand Rapids Drive, averaging 19.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 blocks.
