Charles earned the Player of the Week honor for the second time this season and the 16th time in her seven-year career.  The 2012 WNBA Most Valuable Player and four-time All-Star helped New York win two of its three games during the week, as the Liberty improved to 4-3 on the season.  Through seven games Charles is leading the WNBA in scoring (21.4 ppg) and rebounding (11.6 rpg).

Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes, whose storied friendship transcended their Hall of Fame accomplishments, are honored with an annual NBA award in their names that recognizes the ideal teammate.  Twyman and Stokes were teammates on the Rochester/Cincinnati Royals from 1955-58.  In the last game of the 1957-58 regular season, Stokes suffered an injury that led to his falling into a coma days later and becoming permanently paralyzed.  He was diagnosed with post-traumatic encephalopathy, a brain injury that damaged his motor-control center.  Stokes was supported for the rest of his life by Twyman, who became his legal guardian and advocate.

The former University of Connecticut standout ranked second for the week among Eastern Conference players in scoring (18.7 ppg), shared the lead in rebounding (11 rpg, along with the Atlanta Dream’s Sancho Lyttle) and was eighth in assists (3.3 apg).
+
Twyman helped organize the NBA’s Maurice Stokes Memorial Basketball Game, which raised funds for Stokes’ medical care and, after Stokes’ death in 1970 at age 36, for other players in need. In 2004, after years of lobbying by Twyman, Stokes was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Twyman, who was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1983, died in 2012.
  
−
Charles tipped off her week with 23 points and 11 rebounds in a 79-69 loss to the undefeated Lynx on May 31.  Two days later she logged a 14-point, nine-rebound, six-assist effort in New York’s 91-59 home win over the Indiana Fever.  Charles capped her week with 19 points, 13 boards and three assists in an 86-78 road win over the Seattle Storm on June 5.
+
Along with Carter, Garnett and Bosh, the other finalists for the 2015-16 Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award were Ryan Anderson (New Orleans Pelicans), Caron Butler (Sacramento Kings), Jose Calderon (New York Knicks), Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons), Festus Ezeli (Golden State), James Jones (Cleveland), Andre Miller (San Antonio), Luis Scola (Toronto Raptors) and Marvin Williams (Charlotte Hornets).

Moore, who played with Charles at the University of Connecticut, was also honored as Player of the Week for the second time this season and 16th time in her six-year career.
