Inspiring Panathinaikos in the 104-89 home win against Anadolu Efes, Kendrick Nunn was so crucial that he recorded a competition-high PIR of 37, being named MVP of Round 26.
The former Miami Heat guard had an outstanding 36-point performance, shooting 7/10 from two, 5/11 from three-point range, and a perfect 7/7 at the free-throw line.
In his second season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, he has been averaging 20.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 41.1% from three-point range.
It’s the first time Panathinaikos‘ superstar has grabbed an MVP of the Round during the Regular Season.
