The World of Stats: Find out which major stats changes occurred during the last week

Luka Božić (Zadar) has played the best game of his career as he made 33 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists in the win against Mega MIS, which brought him the overall index rating of 51! He has therefore tied the 6th best single-game index rating record in league history.

Daron Russell (Mornar-Barsko zlato) has continued his scoring spree as he has so far made 123 points combined in the opening three rounds, which is the all-time record. The previous record for the opening three rounds was held by Milan Gurović (89 points), while it is interesting to mention that Luka Božić (Zadar) has also broken the Gurović's record as he has so far scored 97 points.

There is one more interesting thing about Russell and Božić. In the previous 21 years of AdmiralBet ABA League only two players have managed to score 30+ points in 3 consecutive games. The first one was Marino Baždarić who scored 31, 33 and 31 points respectively in rounds 3, 4 and 5 in the 2001/02 season, while the second player to do it was Dejan Milojević who scored 32, 35 and 31 points respectively in rounds 14, 15 and 16 in the 2003/04 season.

Russell and Božić have both scored 30+ points in each of the previous 3 rounds of the 2022/23 season.

In his first game since returning to the regional league, Dragan Milosavljević (Mega MIS) reached a 500+ rebounds career milestone.

Dominik Mavra (Split) has moved up to the 8^th place on the All-Time Assists Leaders list as he surpassed Jure Močnik (568). Mavra has so far collected 570 assists during his regional league career.

After the opening 3 rounds of the new season, the AdmiralBet ABA League teams are averaging more points than ever before. Teams are averaging 84.4 points per game, up from 78.4 through the same number of games in the past season.

Last season, only 6 times occured that one team score 90+ points in a single game in the opening 3 rounds, while in this season we saw a single team have a 90+ points game 17 times in the first 3 rounds.

Special mention:

On October 22, 2011, Boris Savović (Hemofarm) made 23 rebounds (19 def + 4 off) in the match against Radnički Kragujevac and therefore tied the all-time league record for the most rebounds made in a single game by one player. Recall that before Savović only one player managed to have 23 rebounds in one game and that was Tommy Smith (Split) who made 23 rebounds (15 def + 8 off) in the match against FMP on October 4, 2003.
