Vezenkov finished with a PIR of 40 after securing his seventh double-double of the campaign, having paired 28 points with 13 rebounds.

Vezenkov is just the fifth player to ever secure five MVP of the Round accolades in one season.

The second-best performance in Round 24 belongs to Wade Baldwin of Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, as he had a 39 PIR in his team's 86-89 loss to Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

Baldwin set a series of personal bests in that game, scoring 38 points, making 6 three-pointers, and hitting 10 free throws. The guard recorded 5 rebounds, 5 rebounds, and 12 fouls drawn, too.

Next best PIR belongs to Chris Jones of Valencia Basket, having achieved a PIR of 33 after scoring 24 points, including a buzzer-beating game-winning three-pointer in a 91-92 win over Panathinaikos Athens. Jones also had 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal.

Following him is Panathinaikos center Arturas Gudaitis, who shined in that same game with 23 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, and 8 drawn fouls for a 32 PIR.

Rounding out the list of Round 24's best performers are Paris Lee of Panathinaikos and Edgaras Ulanovas of Zalgiris Kaunas, each of whom had a PIR of 26. Lee had 25 points and 7 assists, while Ulanovas posted 16 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds in a 79-75 win over Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz.
