6:39 pm on 13 December 2011

The New Zealand Breakers' forward Gary Wilkinson has missed out on a second Australian National Basketball League Player of the Week award despite scoring 30 points in the away win over Adelaide.

Another American, the Cairns guard Jamar Wilson, got his second award after scoring 27 points and grabbing five rebounds in the Taipans' upset home win over Melbourne.

Wilkinson was unlucky not to win the weekly award for Round 10 after helping the Breakers two a pair of wins and averaging 20.5 points and 6.5 rebounds for the round.

He was player of the week in round five and another Breaker, Thomas Abercrombie, won in round nine.
