It’s official – Budućnost VOLI star player McKinley Wright is the 2024/25 AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season NLB MVP, as won this title in the voting contest of the head coaches of AdmiralBet ABA League teams, journalists and the ABA League fans.
The player, that has been voted the Most Valuable Player of the Regular Season for the second time in a row, will be the first to receive the Dejan Milojević Trophy, which is traditionally handed over to the Regular Season NLB MVP in every season since the 2023/24 season.
The excellent guard of the Podgorica side has finished the voting with a total of 39.1% combined votes, ahead of Kenan Kamenjaš of Budućnost VOLI, who had 26.8% and Bryce Jones of Igokea m:tel, who finished the voting with 23.9% of combined votes.

He led his team to the first place in the Regular Season by averaging 12.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1 steal and a valuation of 16, which was enough to convince the voters that he is worthy of the Dejan Milojević trophy for the 2024/25 season.
