Lekunas claims Betsafe LKL Player of the Week honors

In fine fettle of late, Pieno Zvaigzdes have won seven of their last eight Betsafe LKL contests and now claimed their second consecutive Player of the Week award.

Tomas Lekunas succeeded his teammate Zygimantas Skucas in claiming the honors, leading the Pasvalys side to a 91-82 victory with 22 points and 9 rebounds for a league-best efficiency mark of 30.

With only three games played in the Betsafe LKL last week, players from only six teams were in the running for the honors.

Evaldas Saulys of Siauliai, Neptunas big man Gytis Masiulis and the Zalgiris duo of Thomas Walkup and Deon Thompson joined Lekunas on the Team of the Week.
