We have the MVP of the 13th round of the season and it is Nikola Janković of Olimpija Ljubljana, for the first time this season. Janković dominated the court of Tivoli Sports Hall in Ljubljana in the game against Zadar.

At the match of the 13th round between Olimpija Ljubljana and Zadar, Nikola Janković achieved 24 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks alongside an assist and a steal – and overall valuation of 30, the highest amongst all players this round.

However, what makes things more impressive is that Ante used his quality this time not only to rise on first place in statistical categories, but also to lead his team towards a valuable win in Ljubljana against Zadar, that pushed his team into the upper half of the ABA League standings. During the 34 minutes, that he had spent on court, his team gained 5 points of advantage over the rivals from Dalmatia.

Take a look at some of the fancy plays by Nikola Janković during his performance against Zadar:

The other players that have marked the 13th round of the ABA League with their statistical performances were the top scorer Dragan Labović of Karpoš Sokoli, who scored 28 points against Mega Leks, top rebounders Ante Žižić of Cibona and Devin Oliver of Olimpija Ljubljana (12 rebounds each), top passer Filip Čović of FMP, who dished out 12 assists against Cedevita and top ball “thief” Charles Jenkins of Crvena zvezda mts, who stole five balls in the game against Budućnost VOLI on the road in Morača.
