Manny Harris of the Los Angeles D-Fenders was today named NBA Development League Performer of the Week for games played Monday, Jan. 6 - Sunday, Jan. 12.
Harris, a 6-5, 185-pound guard from Michigan, led Los Angeles to a 2-1 record last week and averaged 35.0 points on .574 shooting (39-for-68). On Jan. 10, he scored a franchise record 49 points to go along with six rebounds, three assists and three steals in a 133-124 win over the Idaho Stampede.
