• Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Paces second unit in defeat

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Mamukelashvili posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 122-96 loss to the Pistons. Mamukelashvili led the second unit in scoring Tuesday, marking his sixth outing with double-digit points over his last seven. The 25-year-old center also hit multiple triples for the 13th time on the season during an extremely efficient performance from beyond the arc. Mamukelashvili will likely continue to split minutes with Jeremy Sochan and Bismack Biyombo at center due to Victor Wembanyama (blood clot) being sidelined. Mamukelashvili has logged at least 12 minutes in each of his last seven appearances, and before the All-Star break, he had averaged only 8.1 minutes per contest across 33 games.

• Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Delivers history-making performance

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Mamukelashvili notched 34 points (13-14 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 win over the Knicks. Not only were the 34 points easily a career high for Mamukelashvili, but the fourth-year big man also established an NBA record for the best scoring total in a single game while playing fewer than 20 minutes. Mamukelashvili didn't play in either the first or third quarter, but he finished the game with a flurry, pouring in 21 of his points in the final 12 minutes while going 8-for-8 from the field and 4-for-4 from three-point range. Considering that Mamukelashvili is shooting 53.9 percent from the field overall on the season, his explosive 13-for-14 performance Wednesday should be viewed as a major outlier, but the 25-year-old could nonetheless earn himself an expanded role moving forward if the Spurs elect to scale back Bismack Biyombo's playing time. Mamukelashvil's minutes will warrant monitoring over the next few games to see if he can become a more stable member of the rotation, after he had been averaging just 9.2 minutes through the Spurs' first nine contests of March.

• Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Fails to score in win

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Mamukelashvili closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes during Wednesday's 126-116 win over the Mavericks. Mamukelashvili once again saw limited minutes off the bench despite the fact the Spurs are shorthanded when it comes to center options. In his past 12 games, Mamukelashvili is averaging a modest 4.3 points and 2.1 rebounds in just 9.2 minutes per game. While there is a chance he steps into a larger role at some point before the end of the season, we have clearly not arrived at that point yet.

• Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Ejected against Indiana

  01/25/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mamukelashvili was ejected after being assessed for a Flagrant 2 after shoving Thomas Bryant from behind in Saturday's game versus the Pacers with 1:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. Mamukelashvili tallied three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 12 minutes during Saturday's contest. Since the 25-year-old committed his foul so late in the game, he hardly missed any action.

• Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Logs season-high 17 minutes

  12/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mamukelashvili posted eight points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Friday's 140-113 loss to the Kings. Mamukelashvili logged at least 15 minutes for just the fifth time this season as the Spurs were blown out by the Kings. With Victor Wembanyama (back) sidelined, the Spurs' frontcourt depth was once again tested. Although Mamukelashvili has a somewhat intriguing skill set, he is unlikely to play sizeable minutes until much later in the season, as we have seen over the past two years.
