Forward Nikola Kalinic (202-F-91) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Vojvodina, receiving a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 13 (Second Stage).

The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Vojvodina maintains the 4th position in Serbian A League.

Despite Marjanovic's great performance Mega Vizura lost 85-88 to #4 ranked Vojvodina.

They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 9 victories and 4 lost games. Marjanovic has a great season in Serbia. After 38 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.9ppg (6th best) and rebounds with 11.8rpg (#1 in league). He also has 1.6bpg and FGP: 68.9%.
