After helping Filou Oostende steal homecourt advantage from Nanterre 92 in the Play-Ins of the Basketball Champions League, Chase Audige won the Player of the Week award.
The 25-year-old guard won the fan vote against four more candidates to be named Player of the Week, as announced on Friday.
After focusing on the G League to start his professional career, Audige joined the Belgian champions during the offseason. Several solid showings through the 2024-25 campaign were followed by a 21-point display in Nanterre on Tuesday. He added nine assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal, helping his side prevail on the road. Game 2 at COREtec Dome brings up a clinching opportunity at home for the team coached by Dario Gjergja.
Before the first Player of the Week in the Play-Ins, Zoltan Perl of Falco Vulcano Szombathely was named Player of the Week in the first and third weeks of the Regular Season. The remaining nods went to Zac Seljaas of FIT/One Wurzburg Baskets in Week 2, Jaromir Bohacik ERA Nymburk in Week 4, R.J. Cole of Rytas in Week 5, Paul Lacombe of Nanterre 92 in Week 6, Steven Enoch of Rytas in Week 7, Gytis Radzevicius of Rytas in Week 8, Kendale McCullum of Maccabi Ramat Gan in Week 9, and Daron Russell of Karsiyaka in Week 10.
