Prevailing in a fan vote, Jerrick Harding was named Player of the Week 5 of the Basketball Champions League Season X.
Rytas Vilnius guard delivered a spectacular scoring performance, leading his team to a 116-90 win over MLP Academics Heidelberg in Group A.
The American erupted for 30 points in just under 22 minutes (21:59), shooting an outstanding 11-of-14 from the field and 5-of-6 from beyond the arc, finishing with a PIR of 26.
His return could not have come at a better time. Harding had been sidelined since suffering an injury after a hard landing in Rytas’ opening win of the season against Legia Warszawa.
Now back, he made an immediate impact — and reminded everyone why he is one of the most dangerous scorers in the competition.
