As the MVP of Round 26 and the co-MVP of Round 27, Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens star guard Kendrick Nunn was a natural choice to be named the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague MVP of the Month for February 2025
Nunn was instrumental in Panathinaikos's unbeaten month, leading the Greens to a perfect 3-0 record in February. The dynamic guard showcased his elite scoring ability and all-around game, averaging 25.7 points and 5.0 assists for a PIR of 26.3. He shot an impressive 68% on two-pointers (17 of 25) and 50% from beyond the arc (10 of 20).
The MVP of the Month award is now in its 20th season. The winner is named by Euroleague Basketball based on his and his team's performance during the month in question. The February award was based on the three games that all teams played last month.
This is Nunn's second MVP of the Month after claiming April honors last season. He joins Dimitris Diamantidis (December 2020, March 2012) and Nick Calathes (November 2017, March 2019) as the only players to be twice named MVP of the Month with Panathinaikos.
Nunn's best performance of the month came in Round 26's blowout win over Anadolu Efes Istanbul when he went off for 36 points and tied his career-high with a PIR of 37. That came after he led the Greens to a narrow victory over Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul in Round 25 by scoring 13 points in the final 6 and a half minutes, including the game-winning free throw with 1.1 seconds remaining. Nunn finished the month with a game-high 24 points – including just 2 missed field goals – and 6 assists in a 93-96 road win at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.
His February exploits further established Nunn as one of the premier guards in the competition and his ability to step up in high-pressure moments has been vital for the Greens. With February's close, the Greens are third in the league with a 17-10 record and Nunn leads the league in scoring with 20.7 points per game.
With the EuroLeague Playoffs fast approaching, Nunn's form and leadership will be crucial as Panathinaikos aims to defend the crown and the player seeks to become the club's first-ever winner of the Alphonso Ford Top Scorer Trophy.
