Back on the floor, straight to MVP | Carlik JONES and PARTIZAN'S PERFECT MARCH | EuroLeague & Friends MVP Talk
After missing 23 EuroLeague games through injury, Carlik Jones returned in late February and went straight into MVP mode, leading Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade to a perfect 5-0 March. 
In this episode of EL & Friends MVP Talk, Jones reflects on the physical and mental grind behind his comeback, the support of his teammates and coaching staff, and the perspective he gained during four months away from the game. 
From the unforgettable Belgrade atmosphere and MVP chants to his clutch three-pointer that forced overtime against Valencia, he breaks down the moments that defined his return - and how Partizan found rhythm and confidence at the right time.
