Rookie wins weekly honor, equals Shaq鈥檚 feat

Philadelphia rookie Michael Carter-Williams has joined Shaquille O’Neal as the only NBA players to win a player of the week award to open a career.

Carter-Williams won the Eastern Conference honor after averaging 20.7 points and 9.0 assists in a surprising run of three wins in a week that included victories over Miami and Chicago. The No. 11 pick in the draft had nine steals in the 76ers’ season-opening victory over the Heat, the most ever in an NBA debut.

O’Neal won the award in 1992 while playing for the Orlando Magic.
