Uroš Luković (Zadar) made 5 rebounds in the last-round match vs. SC Derby and has therefore tied with Dragiša Drobnjak (780) at the 17th place on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time Rebounds list. The next player in front of Luković on this list is Dejan Milojević (783).
Luković’s teammate Dominik Mavra (Zadar) has moved up to the 17th place on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time Assists list as he now has 454 assists in his all-time stats. Mavra surpassed Steven Marković (452), while he needs 11 more assists to reach Davor Kus (465) who is currently holding the 16th place.
By making 5 assists in the match against Partizan NIS, Roko Leni Ukić (Split) has reached a total number of 505 assists in his AdmiralBet ABA League career and has therefore moved up to the 12th position on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time Assists list. Ukić surpassed Nikola Otašević (503), while the next player in front of him on this list is Siniša Štemberger (513).
Rok Stipčević (Krka) led his team toward the win in the match against Mornar-Barsko Zlato by scoring his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 33 points. What is also special about his performance is the fact that Stipčević made his AdmiralBet ABA League career-high 9 three-pointers in this match.
In the history of the regional league, only two players have scored more three-pointers in a single match than Stipčević. Teemu Rannikko and Josip Sesar hold the record in this category as both of them have scored 10 three-pointers in a single game. Still, not a single player in league history had a better 3-point percentage than Rok Stipčević last weekend (counting only 10+ 3-point attempts in a single game) as Krka’s point guard was 9/10 (90%) for 3 points.
On top of that, Stipčević surpassed Jasmin Hukić (271) on the AdmiralBet ABA League All-Time 3-Points Made list and he now shares the 12th place with UroŠ Tripković (275). Stipčević needs to score 7 more three-pointers to reach Krunoslav Simon (282) who is holding the 11th place on this list.
Jacob Pullen (Cedevita Olimpija) has reached a 200+ three-pointers made milestone and he is the only player who is coming outside of our region who managed to score 200+ three-pointers in AdmiralBet ABA League.
Vladimir Micov (Budućnost VOLI) scored 11 points in the match against Crvena zvezda mts and he has therefore joined the 1000+ points club. What is interesting to mention is that Micov scored all of his 1,006 points in AdmiralBet ABA League by playing for Budućnost VOLI.
Special mention:
On October 4, 2003, Tommy Smith (Split) made 23 rebounds (15+8) in the match vs. FMP. That is still the all-time league record for the most rebounds made in a single game by one player. Only Boris Savović (Hemofarm) managed to tie this record back in 2011 when he also made 23 rebounds in the match vs. Radnički.
