Before Reuvers, only Lukša Andrić and Dario Šarić have managed to make 5 blocks in a single game when playing for Cibona. Andrić did ii in 2008, while Šarić made 5 blocks in the 2014 AdmiralBet ABA League Finals vs. Cedevita.
Nikola Ivanović (Crvena zvezda mts) has made it to the Top 20 of the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time 3-pointers Made list after scoring 2 three-pointers in the match against Split. Ivanović is currently sharing the 18th place on this list together with his teammate Branko Lazić (240 three-pointers), while he moved past Vuka Radivojević (239) and Davor Marcelić (239). Also, Ivanović has moved up to the 17th place on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time Steals list as he surpassed Marino Baždarić (219) and Vladimir Dašić (218). Ivanović has so far made 220 steals in his AdmiralBet ABA League career.
Jaka Blažič (Cedevita Olimpija) has tied with Luka Žorić at the 15th place on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time Free-Throws Made list as both of them have now scored 469 free throws.
Mega Basket have opened the new season with a 33-point margin win over SC Derby which is the highest-margin win for this club in league history. Also, Mega Basket made 34 assists in the same match and have therefore tied the all-time league record for most assists made in a single game by one team. Only Crvena zvezda mts have previously managed to make 34 assists in one game (vs. Bosna, February 13, 2003).
And that is now all! Mega Basket players have also scored 18 three-pointers in the match vs. SC Derby which is the 6th best score in league history. Cedevita still hold the all-time record in this category as they made 23 three-pointers in the match vs. Zagreb back in 2010.
Special mention:
The opening round of the 2006/07 season will stay remembered by a historic performance of former Crvena zvezda mts player Milan Gurović who scored 45 points in the match against FMP. That is still the league record for the most points made in a single game by one player. Still, despite making 45 points in that match, Milan Gurović and his team Crvena zvezda mts suffered defeat against FMP that day – 94:95.
