Bitadze recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 119-118 victory over the Lakers.
Bitadze has proven to be a capable placeholder for Wendell Carter (foot), with an average of 9.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocked shots over 10 games as a starter. It's unclear when Carter will be cleared to play again, so Bitadze should continue to reap the benefits of an increased role.
