Wolverine’s Basketball Player Receives Dual Honors
A experienced clinical pharmacist in San Diego, Dr. Ashkan Khabazian assists physicians in the care of patients admitted to the emergency room at Sharp Memorial Hospital. Before beginning his career, Dr. Ashkan Khabazian graduated with a doctor of pharmacy from the University of Michigan, and he continues to cheer on the school’s basketball team.
In the first week of February, Michigan Wolverines senior guard Derrick Walton Jr. received honors as Co-Big Ten Player of the Week for his part in leading his team to victories over the Michigan State Spartans and the Indiana Hoosiers.
Over the two games, the senior averaged 22.5 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. He also shot 60.9 percent overall and 83.3 percent from three-point range, along with making 12 of 12 free throws. With his performance against Michigan State, Walton became only the third player in Wolverines history to record career totals of 1,000 points, 400 rebounds, and 400 assists.
The honors as Co-Big Ten Player of the Week follow Walton being recognized in early January as one of 30 men’s basketball players from across the country nominated for the Senior CLASS (Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School) Award. CLASS honors NCAA Division I senior student-athletes who demonstrate excellence in competition, character, classroom, and community.
