For the fourth time this season, Elena Delle Donne has been named the Eastern Conference's Player of the Week, the WNBA announced Monday. Phoenix Mercury's Brittany Griner earned the West honor.

The All-Star forward averaged 23.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.67 blocks to guide the Sky to a 2-1 record this week, highlighted by a 33-point performance from Delle Donne in the team's win against the defending champion Mercury on Sunday night.

Delle Donne is currently the runaway leader for the league's scoring title (24.3 points per game), ranks fourth in rebounds per game (8.9) and blocks per game (2.1), and owns the best free throw percentage (.953).

The Sky have won three of their last four games, good enough to jump the Indiana Fever for third place in the conference. With a 14-9 record, the Sky are just 1.5 games back from first.

Delle Donne was named East's Player of the Month for June.
