Euroleague Round 15 co-MVPs: Lonnie Walker, Will Clyburn

Lonnie Walker

Walker posted a career-high 33 PIR, the joint highest of any player in this round, in Maccabi’s 92-84 win over LDLC ASVEL

A career night for Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv guard Lonnie Walker and a season-best performance by FC Barcelona forward Will Clyburn saw them share Round 15 MVP honors. For Walker it is the first time he has been the MVP of the Round in 33 career EuroLeague appearances, while it is the seventh such award for Clyburn in his 258-game career.

Walker posted a career-high 33 PIR, the joint highest of any player in this round, in Maccabi’s 92-84 win over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne after netting a career-best 29 points – the best of any player in Round 15 – on 10-of-11 two-pointers, 2-of-8 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws. What’s more, the guard pulled down a personal-high 9 rebounds, in addition to recording 1 assist and 2 fouls drawn. Walker’s accolade comes after Roman Sorkin achieved the same feat in Round 6 of this current campaign.

Clyburn enjoyed a season-best night as Barcelona grabbed a 98-85 victory against Olympiacos Piraeus, setting new season highs with a 33 PIR and 28 points, which came in large part thanks to a career-high 7 three-pointers made on 10 attempts. He also shot 3 for 5 inside the arc 1 for 1 from the line, in addition to grabbing 3 rebounds, dishing 2 assists, making 3 steals, blocking 1 shot and drawing 2 fouls
