After Olympiacos Piraeus’ Sasha Vezenkov earned the Round 5 MVP award in the 2025-26 EuroLeague regular season, he tops the MVP ladder, having already received the honor twice.

Vezenkov ranked first, followed by Kendrick Nunn, who was expected to dominate for the entire season, but was sidelined due to a knee injury in Round 2, and then returned in Round 5.

For the Olympiacos forward, he tied Nando De Colo for the second-most MVP of the round recognitions in EuroLeague history with a total of 16, only behind Shane Larkin’s 19.

The 6-foot-9 wing formerly played for the Sacramento Kings during the 2023-24 NBA season, averaging 12.2 minutes, 5.4 points, and 2.3 rebounds. 

While transitioning to the EuroLeague seems to be going quite well, he currently averages a double-double with 19.9 points, 10 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
