Elijah Bryant earned his second consecutive EuroLeague MVP of the Round award after leading Hapoel Tel Aviv to a 102-98 home victory over Real Madrid in Round 3.
After taking Round 2 honors, Bryant delivered another standout performance, finishing with 22 points, a career-high 13 rebounds, seven assists and one steal. He also drew nine fouls for a performance index rating of 40, the highest among players on winning teams in the round.
Bryant shot 6-of-9 on two-pointers, 1-of-6 from beyond the arc and 7-of-9 from the free-throw line.
It was the fifth MVP of the Round award of his career — four with Hapoel and one during his time at Anadolu Efes.
He became the first player to earn the honor in consecutive rounds since Sasha Vezenkov in Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2024-25 season, although the Olympiacos forward shared the first award with ASVEL’s Neal Sako.
The last player to win back-to-back awards outright was Walter Tavares, who claimed the honors in Games 3 and 4 of Real Madrid’s 2023 EuroLeague Playoffs series against Partizan.
