The dynamic guard helped drive the Serbian team to a perfect <strong data-start=\"1825\" data-end=\"1839\">5-0 record<\/strong> during the month, giving new life to a squad that had been sitting in 19th place at 9-20 by late February.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1948\" data-end=\"2376\">Across the five March games, Jones averaged <strong data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2035\">18.4 points, 4.8 assists and a 20.8 PIR<\/strong>, while also adding <strong data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2086\">3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals<\/strong> per game. His influence went far beyond the box score, as Partizan rediscovered offensive rhythm and picked up major wins over postseason hopefuls such as <strong data-start=\"2242\" data-end=\"2260\">Virtus Bologna<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2282\">Dubai Basketball<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2287\" data-end=\"2306\">Valencia Basket<\/strong>, in addition to victories against <strong data-start=\"2341\" data-end=\"2361\">Paris Basketball<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2366\" data-end=\"2375\">ASVEL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2672\">The honor also carries strong historical value for the Belgrade club. Jones became the <strong data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2530\">first Partizan player to win the monthly MVP award since 2009<\/strong>, underlining just how important his comeback has been in a difficult season. It is the first EuroLeague MVP of the Month award of his career.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2674\" data-end=\"2694\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Partizan guard earned the award after powering the black-and-whites to a perfect 5-0 month following his return from injury<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":490842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-490843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/unnamed.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490843"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=490843"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=490843"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=490843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
