From stunning comebacks to incredible scoring showcases, their contributions made them the top players of the week.
🌟 Guards Lead the Charge
Rickey McGill and Frank Bartley IV were brilliant for their teams.

The forward positions were filled by players who stepped up when it mattered most. Timmy Allen had an unbelievable fourth quarter for Trapani Shark, scoring 20 of his points in the final period to power his team to a hard-fought victory. In an even more dramatic fashion, Jordan Tucker made his debut for Elan Chalon and inspired an incredible comeback from a 21-point deficit, capping off the win with a clutch game-winning three-pointer.
🏆 Champion’s Performance in the Paint
Representing the defending champions Unicaja, Olek Balcerowski controlled the center position. He played his best game of the season, showing his skills on both ends of the floor. His strong presence in the paint was a key factor in Unicaja’s comfortable win over Mersin Sports Club, proving why he is a vital part of the title-holding team. These five players are now in the running for the Player of the Week award.
