The final round of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season saw a career game from one of its biggest stars, as Nikola Mirotic dominated for EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and took home the 10th MVP of the Round award of his 276-game career.
Mirotic posted a personal-high PIR of 40 in Milan’s 111-89 win over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. He scored 23 points on 5-for-8 two-point shooting, 3-of-4 triples, and 4-of-4 free throws.
