Weekly Zags in the Pros Update

It was an eventful week for former Zags both here and overseas. Domantas Sabonis took part in All-Star festivities for the second straight year, while two matchups between Zag alums for the Grizzlies and Wizards and a big game for Kelly Olynyk highlighted an abbreviated slate of NBA action. The G-League regular season also wrapped up last week, and Bulldogs abroad continue to put up big numbers for their respective teams.

Domantas Sabonis: Domas took part in his second career All-Star Game over the weekend, scoring two points and recording an assist and a rebound for the victorious Team LeBron. He also took part in the Skills Challenge, defeating Orlando’s Nikola Vucevic in the final and avenging his loss in the event last year.

Brandon Clarke: Clarke had a solid game against Rui and the Wizards last week with 14 points, 5 rebounds 2 assists, and a career high 4 steals in a win for the Grizzlies. BC also had his third double-digit rebound performance of the season last night, another win over Washington.

Kevin Pangos: Pangos had 7 assists in each of his team’s three games last week. He also shot the ball well, with 19, 14, and 16 points respectively. He also remains in the top five in both the EuroLeague and VTB United League in assists, averaging 6.3 per game across all competition.

Filip Petrusev: Petrusev made the most of his team’s lone game this week, scoring 31 points with 8 rebounds and a career high 9 assists over the weekend. He shot 9-11 from the field, including 4 three pointers. Petrusev still leads the Adriatic League in scoring with 23.5 points per game.

Kyle Wiltjer: Wiltjer also played just one game over the weekend, and he also made the most of it. He led Turk Telekom with 24 points on 10-14 shooting and also grabbed 3 rebounds. Wiltjer has now scored in double figures in 20 of 23 games on the season.
