Carlik Jones capped a standout month by earning the EuroLeague MVP for March, leading Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade to a perfect 5–0 record.
Partizan had been struggling at 9–20 after 29 rounds, but Jones’ return from injury provided a major boost. Since then, the team has become one of the hottest in the league, matching a club record with five consecutive wins.
During March, Jones averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 assists and a 20.8 PIR, while shooting 60% inside the arc. He also contributed 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.
“It’s a big-time award, especially with so many great players in the league,” Jones said. “I wanted to come back, compete and prove myself. I missed a lot of time this season, so it was important for me to make an impact.”
This is Jones’ first MVP of the Month honor, making him the fourth Partizan player to receive it, after Milt Palacio, Novica Veličković and Aleks Marić.
With just four rounds remaining, Partizan may be out of postseason contention, but its March surge—driven by Jones—shows that every game still matters.
