Omer Yurtseven of Panathinaikos wins the award for the most valuable player of Round 19 in the EuroLeague. Yurtseven accomplished a 34 PIR in Panathinaikos' win over Virtus last night in Athens.
Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens were really in the spotlight on Friday with their immense victory in OAKA over Virtus Segafredo Bologna.
Hence it's no surprise that best player of that match was crowned as the MVP of last round in the EuroLeague.
Omer Yurtseven wants to make sure that Mathias Lessort's absence won't hurt Panathinaikos in any manner, having 34 PIR in Panathinaikos' win.
Yursteven set his career-high in points with 27, shooting 13/16 two-pointers and grabbing 7 rebounds to complete 34 PIR.
This season, Yurtseven averages 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 11:42 minutes of playing time, though his game time will certainly rise with Lessort's injury.
