They say an assist makes two players happy, while a basket makes only one. That’s why players who can create for others are a treasure for every team. Below is a list of the players with the most assists in a single EuroLeague game. It’s worth noting that accurate statistical tracking began in the 1990s. Here is the Top 10:
10. NICK CALATHES – 16 ASSISTS
We begin the list with Nick Calathes 🇬🇷, who recorded 16 assists on April 17, 2018, in a playoff game against Real Madrid. This remains the EuroLeague playoff single-game assist record.
Sharing 10th place with Calathes is Keith Williams 🇺🇸, who had 16 assists for Śląsk Wrocław during the 1992–93 season in a game against Dinamo Tbilisi.
