Kendrick Nunn, a player for Panathinaikos basketball team, has been awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title for the 31st round of the Euroleague.

During the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, where his team triumphed 99:92, Nunn achieved 26 points (2/2 in two-point shooting, 5/10 in three-point shooting, and 7/7 in free throws), along with eight assists, five rebounds, a steal, a block, and a utility index of 34.

This marks the third occasion in his career that the American guard has earned the EuroLeague MVP recognition. He was also named the Most Valuable Player of the Month for February, according to the EuroLeague website.

Nunn is currently averaging 20.2 points, four assists, 3.5 rebounds, and an efficiency index of 18.7 in the Euroleague this season, contributing to Panathinaikos, which stands third in the league with a record of 20-11.

In the previous round, Olympiacos forward Sasha Vezenkov achieved a higher utility index than Nunn, but was unable to secure the MVP due to his team’s defeat. In the match against Asvel, the Bulgarian player scored 25 points (5/6 in two-point shooting, 3/6 in three-point shooting, 6/6 in free throws), grabbed 10 rebounds, and added an assist, a steal, and a utility index of 36.

Tied for third place in utility index with a score of 28 were Partizan center Brandon Davis and Asvel guard Theo Maledon. Davis recorded 85 points (shooting 71/22 from the field), along with three steals, two rebounds, and one assist in his team’s 91-90 victory over Alba, marking his highest utility index of the season.

The fourth highest utility index from the last round belonged to Real Madrid center Valter Tavares and Panathinaikos forward Juancho Hernangomez, both with an index of 27.
