March 10, 2020 - Round 21 MVP: Derek Needham (Mornar)
We
have the MVP of the 21st round of the season and it is Mornar guard
Derek Needham, for the second time this season. Needham dominated the
court in Topolica Sports Hall in the game of his team against Krka. At
the match of the 21st round between Mornar and Krka, Derek Needham
achieved 12 points, 11 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals and a valuation of
27 in 30 minutes spent on court. He had the highest valuation of the
round in the ABA League, together with Domagoj Vukovic and Muhammed
Ahmed of Zadar. However, the fact that Derek Needham did not use his
quality just to rise to the top of the statistical categories, but also
helped his team to beat Krka, is what earned him the MVP of the round
honour. Needham was also the top passer of ABA League Round 21. The
other players that marked the Round 21 with their individual
performances were the top scorer Dominic Gilbert of Zadar (23 points),
top rebounder Jaka Blazic of Cedevita Olimpija (14 rebounds each) and
top ball thief Kevin Punter of Crvena zvezda mts (4 steals). Read more

March 6, 2020 - Round 21
Important game is coming to Laktaši, where Igokea
will be hosting Cibona and both teams need a victory badly in their
battle of avoiding the danger zone near the bottom of the ABA League
standings. Ahead of the Round 21, Igokea hold 7 wins in their hands and
Cibona 6, while the last-placed Zadar have won 5 games so far. So it is
clear that the team that wins this game would improve their position in
the standings greatly and perhaps save their season, while the losing
one might get into trouble. Read more here.

Partizan NIS : Mega Bemax 102-88
We
have the MVP of the 20th round of the season and it is Buducnost VOLI
point guard Justin Cobbs, for the second time this season. Cobbs
dominated the court in Moraca Sports Hall in the game of his team
against Mornar. At the match of the 20th round between Buducnost VOLI
and Mornar, Justin Cobbs achieved 20 points, 10 assists, 1 rebound, 2
steals and a valuation of 33 in 25 minutes spent on court. He had the
highest valuation of the round in the ABA League. However, the fact
that Justin Cobbs did not use his quality just to rise to the top of
the statistical categories, but also helped his team to beat Mornar, is
what earned him the MVP of the round honour. Cobbs was also the top
passer of the round in the ABA League. The other players that marked
the Round 20 with their individual performances were the top scorer
Stefan Fundic of Zadar (27 points), top rebounders Djordje Gagic of
Igokea and Dominic Gilbert of Zadar (10 rebounds each) and top ball
thief Derek Needham of Mornar (4 steals). Read more here.
February 29, 2020 - Round 20
With just 3 rounds remaining in the regular season,
it is quite clear why this match is so important for both sides. Crvena
zvezda mts and Cedevita Olimpija will face each other on Sunday evening
in Belgrade in the battle for the Playoffs! Crvena zvezda mts are not
in a good rhythm as they have suffered several painful defeats over the
past month. They lost the previous match in the ABA League against
Mornar in the road, then they lost the Serbian National Cup final
against their arch rivals Partizan NIS in a thrilling ending, while on
top of that they have lost the previous 3 games in the EuroLeague. Read

February 11, 2020 - Round 19 MVP: Uros Lukovic, Mornar
We
have the MVP of the 19th round of the season and it is Mornar big man
Uros Lukovic, for the second time this season. Lukovic dominated the
court in Topolica Sports Hall in the game of his team against Crvena
zvezda mts. At the match of the 19th round between Mornar and Crvena
zvezda mts, Uros Lukovic achieved 23 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2
assists and a valuation of 38 in 24 minutes spent on court. He had the
second highest valuation of the round in the ABA League, behind his
brother Marko Lukovic of Koper Primorska. However, the fact that Uros
Lukovic did not use his quality just to rise to the top of the
statistical categories, but also helped his team to beat Crvena zvezda
mts, unlike the stats of Marko Lukovic in the game against FMP, is what
earned him the MVP of the round honour. Read more here.
February 7, 2020 - Round 19
A very important clash is coming up for both sides
on Saturday night in Stožice Arena, as Cedevita Olimpija will be taking
on Zadar in the 19th round of the ABA League season. There is no need
to especially emphasize what winning would mean for both sides, as
Cedevita Olimpija need a pair of points in their battle for the ABA
League Playoffs, while on the other side Zadar desperately need to win
in order to escape the last place in the standings which means
relegation to the ABA League 2. Read more here.

Igokea : Krka 92-82
Monday, February 10
Mornar : Crvena zvezda mts 71-64
January 31, 2020 - Round 18
A big game is coming up in Belgrade on Saturday
night, as FMP will be hosting Cedevita Olimpija in a battle of two of
the most serious competitors for one of the four spots available in the
ABA League Playoffs. And, we could argue that the game is coming in the
right time for both squads. Both of them have been in some kind of a
crisis lately, as both of them have won only 1 of their last five games
and while FMP’s winless streak spans on 3 games, Cedevita Olimpija
haven’t tasted the sweetness of a win for four rounds in a row. So, in
the 18th round of the ABA League season one thing is certain – one of
the two teams will end their negative streak. Read more here.

17th round between Mega Bemax and Krka, Marko Simonovic achieved 23
points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 32 in 30
minutes spent on court. He had the highest valuation of the round in
the ABA League. However, the fact that Simonovic did not use his
quality just to rise to the top of the statistical categories, but also
helped his team to beat Krka, is what earned him the MVP of the round
honour. Marko Simonovic was also the top rebounder of the round in the
ABA League. The other players that marked the Round 17 with their
individual performances were the top scorer Justin Cobbs of Buducnost
VOLI (24 points), top passers Nemanja Gordic of Partizan NIS. Read more

January 24, 2020 - Round 17
The ABA League Round 17 is set to begin and it will
tip-off in Zagreb, where Cibona will be hosting Buducnost VOLI in the
opening game of the round. It is a game that is extremely important for
the development of the season for both teams. While Cibona need to grab
a victory to score six of them and escape the danger zone at the bottom
of the standings, where the last-placed Mega Bemax are currently just
two wins beneath them, Buducnost VOLI need to triumph on Saturday night
in order to keep in touch with the leading ABA League side Partizan
NIS, which are currently one win away from the squad of Moraca. Read

Cibona : Buducnost VOLI 78-87
Partizan NIS : Zadar 87-60
If there is any rivalry in the ABA League in which
the home-court advantage really makes the difference than it is the one

team seized the win. Read more here.

round between Mornar and Koper Primorska, Uros Lukovic achieved 16
points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 31 in 22
minutes spent on court. He had the highest valuation of the round in
the ABA League. However, the fact that Lukovic did not use his quality
just to rise to the top of the statistical categories, but also helped
his team to beat Koper Primorska, is what earned him the MVP of the
round honour. The other players that marked the Round 15 with their
individual performances were the top scorer Kendrick Perry of Mega
Bemax (31 points), top rebounder Ziga Dimec of Koper Primorska (13
rebounds), top passer Michael Green of Igokea (10 assists), while Marin
Rozic of Cibona topped the statistical category of steals with 5 steals

January 10, 2020 - Round 15
It’s always dramatic when the two powerhouses of
Croatian basketball meet in a local derby. It is expected to be no
different this time, as they will be meeting in Dražen Petrović Arena
in Zagreb. One of the most important big local derbies of Cibona and
Zadar over the past couple of years is coming up, as the two
powerhouses are about to beet in Zagreb. With eight rounds to go in the
regular season of the ABA League, both of the mentioned squads are
separated from Mega Bemax in the last place by only one victory, so
winning in the derby game would also mean to be rescued to the safe
zone, away from the bottom. Read more here.
January 7, 2020 - Round 14 MVP: Domagoj Vukovic, Zadar
We
have the MVP of the 14th round of the season and it is Zadar big man

between Zadar and Mega Bemax, Domagoj Vukovic achieved 28 points, 13
rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a valuation of 39 in 36 minutes spent
on court. He had the highest valuation of the round in the ABA League.
However, the fact that Vukovic did not use his quality just to rise to
the top of the statistical categories, but also helped his team to beat
Mega Bemax, is what earned him the MVP of the round honour. Domagoj
Vukovic was also the top scorer and rebounder of ABA League Round 14.

An interesting encounter is coming up in Belgrade,
as FMP will be hosting Cibona at home in their FMP Arena. FMP are still
amongst the main Playoffs contenders, as they are currently occupying
the fourth place in the standings, together with Koper Primorska. On
the other side, Cibona are doing everything in their power to escape
the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, where they are now
placed with four victories grabbed so far, only one more than the three
teams that are sharing the bottom of the standings right now – Igokea,
Zadar and Mega Bemax. Read more here.

January 2, 2020 - MVP of December: Rashawn Thomas, Partizan NIS
We
have the third monthly MVP of the 2019/20 season. It is Rashawn Thomas
of Partizan NIS. Rashawn Thomas has proven, throughout the month of
December, his dominance at the ABA League courts wherever he has
appeared and besides the fact that he finished the month amongst
statistically the most efficient players, he deserved himself the award
with his contribution to the team's success – Partizan NIS have all
five of their games last month and established themselves a desired
position at the very top of the ABA League standings. The excellent big
man in the ranks of the Belgrade squad averaged 15 points, 6.7
rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 22 during the games
of Partizan NIS, which puts him on the second place in the rankings in
valuation in the ABA League during the month of December, behind

achieved 33 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and a valuation of

round in the ABA League. However, the fact that Blazic did not use his
quality just to rise to the top of the statistical categories, but also
helped his team to beat Mega Bemax, is what earned him the MVP of the
round honour. Jaka Blazic was also the top scorer of ABA League Round
12. The other players that marked the Round 12 with their individual
performances were the top rebounder and top ball thief Marko Simonovic
of Mega Bemax (16 rebounds and 4 steals) and top passer Jacob Pullen of

An interesting clash of two highly motivated teams
is coming up in Belgrade’s Stark Arena, as Partizan NIS will be hosting

lately and are looking to jump to the first place and in order to do
that, not only a defeat of Buducnost VOLI would be necessary, but also
their victory. On the other side, Igokea desperately need a new victory
in order to get back to the winning track and escape the danger zone at
the bottom of the ABA League standings, where they are currently
positioned together with Mega Bemax and Zadar. Read more here.

rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 37 in 36 minutes spent
on court. He had the highest valuation of the round in the ABA League.

points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, 1 block and a valuation of 33
in 31 minutes spent on court. He had the highest valuation of the round

A big game is coming up in Belgrade, as Mega Bemax
will be hosting Partizan NIS in Ranko Zeravica Hall, a hall, where also
Partizan NIS used to play their home ABA League games in the past. It
is a game where many are expecting Partizan NIS to triumph easily, as

most efficient players, he deserved himself the award with his
contribution to the team's success – Cibona have won two of their four
games last month and established themselves a desired position in the
middle of the ABA League standings. The excellent big man in the ranks
of the Zagreb squad averaged 19.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and

round between Cibona and Koper Primorska, Ivan Novacic achieved 28
points, 6 rebounds, 1 assists, 28 in just as many minutes spent on
court. He had the highest valuation of the round in the ABA League.
However, the fact that Bundovic did not use his quality just to rise to
the top of the statistical categories, but also helped his team to beat
Koper Primorska, is what earned him the MVP of the round honour.

players that marked the Round 9 with their individual performances were
the top rebounders Zoran Nikolic, Aleksa Ilic and Hassan Martin of
Buducnost VOLI and Uros Lukovic of Mornar (10 rebounds), top passer

his team to beat Mega Bemax, is what earned him the MVP of the round
honour. Bundovic was, together with Luka Lapornik of Krka, also the top scorer of Round 8. Read more here.

Another festival of basketball is coming to Koper,
as the home side Koper Primorska will be hosting FMP in a battle of two
teams that wish to preserve their spot near the very top of the ABA
League standings. Not many of basketball fans did expect the ABA League
newcomers of Koper and the young, but talented Belgrade squad in such a

behind Glenn Cosey of Zadar (34). However, the fact that Pullen did not
use his quality just to rise to the top of the statistical categories,

against Cibona, is what earned him the MVP of the round honour. Read

more here.
October 25, 2019 - Round 4
Big game is coming to Stozice Arena, as Steamroller
visits Ljubljana to challenge the undefeated Dragons. Two 2019 ABA
Super Cup finalists will meet again, this time in different
circumstances. It’s Partizan NIS against Cedevita Olimpija. When the
two sides met for the first time this season, it was Partizan NIS that
prevailed convincingly over Cedevita Olimpija, in the ABA Super Cup
final in Zagreb. However, since then Cedevita Olimpija have
strengthened their ranks with Maik Zirbes and have demonstrated a
stable shape in the ABA League, beating all three of their rivals so
far in the regular season, which puts them atop of the standings alone,
with FMP of Belgrade. Read more here.
In the opening game of the Saturday’s ABA League
programme, Mornar will be hosting Partizan NIS at home in Topolica
Sports Hall in Bar. Perhaps not many have expected this kind of a
situation in the standings after two rounds played in the ABA League,
but Mornar, that will be hosting Partizan NIS at home in Topolica
Sports Hall in Round 3, are currently still perfect after two rounds,
with two victories on their record, and their Belgrade rivals are on a
