ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish basketball side Fenerbahce's Jan Vesely was named Monday EuroLeague's Most Valuable Player of January, EuroLeague confirmed Monday.

"Fenerbahce's rise through the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings last month had Vesely's fingerprints all over it," EuroLeague said in a statement.

"The former champion posted the highest performance index rating in the league over six games in January to lead Fenerbahce to a 6-0 record and a tie for eighth place", it added.

Vesely clinched the monthly award three times in his 10-season EuroLeague career.
