Jovanovic rises to Top Performer honors

MUNICH (EuroLeague Women) - Serbian national team regular Nevena Jovanovic has powered herself to Top Performer honors this week with an efficiency of 34.

The shooting guard came up with her biggest return of the season for ESBVA-LM, leading their offense with 28 points in an important 69-61 win over CCC Polkowice on the road. Her point return came on the back of a perfect five-of-five performance from beyond the arc.

Joining her in this week's backcourt is Cristina Ouvina. Also playing her basketball in France, albeit for Bourges, the Spaniard had 15 points, 7 assists and 4 steals, to help her team to an 86-72 win over ZVVZ USK Praha.

She was however upstaged by teammate Valeriane Ayayi, who has been central to Bourges' pre-Christmas change of fortunes. The French international is in the Top Performer's team for a second consecutive week, thanks to her 23-point, 7-rebound contribution.

It was again a bitter-sweet week for Dewanna Bonner. The ZVVZ USK Praha forward is once again in the Top Performer side, but it again comes despite a loss for her team. The American, who joined the team late, continued her string of productive outputs, with a 27-point, 13-rebound double-double.

Rounding out the team in the center position is Brionna Jones, who makes her maiden appearance. The Nadezhda center had a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double, as her team suffered another agonizing defeat, this time to Fenerbahce, 66-64
