Sandro Mamukelashvili Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Raptors vs Bucks game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 7, 2025
Provides spark in loss
Mamukelashvili totaled 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds across 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
After recording just three points on 1-of-4 shooting from the field in Friday's loss to the Hornets, the 26-year-old big man bounced back and led the Raptors' bench in scoring and boards, outperforming starter Jakob Poeltl. Mamukelashvili had shot just 29.4 percent from the floor in his previous two games, so his efficiency Sunday is an encouraging sign. While he doesn't stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis, the fifth-year pro remains a solid streaming option whenever Poeltl is sidelined.
Dec 5, 2025
Headed to bench
Mamukelashvili will return to the bench for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili will return to a reserve role with Jakob Poeltl back in the first unit, but Mamukelashvili can still be considered a deep league streaming option with a favorable matchup against Charlotte. As a member of the second unit this season, Mamukelashvili owns averages of 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per contest.
Dec 4, 2025
Joining starting five
Mamukelashvili is starting Thursday's game against the Lakers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Jakob Poeltl will get the night off Thursday, paving the way for Mamukelashvili's second start of the 2025-26 campaign. His last start dates back to Nov. 23 against Brooklyn, when he finished with 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
Dec 3, 2025
Grabs seven boards Tuesday
Mamukelashvili closed Tuesday's 121-118 victory over the Trail Blazers with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
As long as Jakob Poeltl is on the floor for the Raptors, Mamukelashvili is likely to struggle for fantasy value. However, he's been effective on a per-minute basis, with Mamukelashvili having averaged 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.0 minutes per contest over 21 games this season.
Nov 24, 2025
Back to bench Monday
Mamukelashvili is not starting in Monday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Jakob Poeltl is back in the first unit after grabbing a seat in Sunday's win over the Nets. Mamukelashvili has averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest over 16 games this season, shooting a strong 56.2 percent from the floor.
Nov 23, 2025
Tallies 12 points in first start
Mamukelashvili finished Sunday's 119-109 win over the Nets with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili made his first start of the season Sunday (and 16th of his five-year NBA career) due to the absence of Jakob Poeltl (rest). Mamukelashvili put together a solid stat line during the win and was one of eight Raptors players to score in double-digits. He'll likely come off the bench in the second leg of Toronto's back-to-back set Monday against Cleveland, assuming Poeltl is cleared to return.
Nov 23, 2025
Starting role Sunday
Mamukelashvili is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili will make his first start of the season Sunday with Jakob Poeltl resting. He's coming off a season-high 23-point outing against the Wizards on Friday and has averaged 12.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18.0 minutes per contest over the Raptors' past five games.
Nov 21, 2025
Season-high 23 points vs. Wizards
Mamukelashvili finished Friday's 140-110 win over Washington with 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili played a key role off the bench for the Raptors in Friday's blowout win. He and Scottie Barnes finished tied for the third-most points on the team behind Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett (24 each), and Mamukelashvili's plus-22 point differential was second best on Toronto behind Ingram (plus-25). It was another promising performance out of Mamukelashvili, and in nine games since Nov. 2, the fifth-year pro has averaged 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds 1.6 assists and 0.7 steals over 18.0 minutes per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field (including 44.0 percent from three on 2.8 3PA/G).
Nov 13, 2025
Good to go Thursday
Mamukelashvili (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Kayla Grey of TSN reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili will shed his questionable tag due to a neck contusion and stiffness after missing Tuesday's win over Brooklyn. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 9.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 18.2 minutes per contest. He could see a slight bump in minutes Thursday due to Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) being sidelined.
Nov 12, 2025
Listed questionable for Thursday
Mamukelashvili (neck) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili remains day-to-day after missing his first game of the season due to a neck contusion and stiffness Tuesday against the Nets. If he gets the green light, he'll likely reprise his role as the backup center behind Jakob Poeltl.
Nov 11, 2025
Won't suit up Tuesday
Mamukelashvili (neck) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili will miss his first game of the season due to a neck contusion and stiffness. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Cleveland. With the big man sidelined, Collin Murray-Boyles and Jonathan Mogbo are candidates for increased minutes.
Nov 10, 2025
Questionable for Tuesday
Mamukelashvili (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili is dealing with a neck contusion and stiffness ahead of Tuesday's matchup, leaving his status uncertain. The big man has served as a frontcourt option off the bench, averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.8 minutes across 10 appearances this season. If he's unable to suit up, Collin Murray-Boyles and recently recalled Jonathan Mogbo could see minutes at center.
Nov 4, 2025
Chips in 15 points off bench
Mamukelashvili recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during the Raptors' 128-100 win over the Bucks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili led all Raptors reserves in playing time and scoring while connecting on a season-high three triples. He also led both teams with a plus-28 point differential, and he appears to have carved out a regular spot in the rotation for himself, even with Jakob Poeltl returning Tuesday from a three-game absence due to a back injury. Poeltl operated on a minutes restriction in his return and may have his playing time limited during the Raptors' upcoming five-game road trip, which gives Mamukelashvili an opportunity for more minutes in the short term.
Nov 1, 2025
Grabs six boards in win
Mamukelashvili chipped in 11 points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 112-101 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili recorded double-digit points for the third time in his last four appearances and was one of five Toronto players to reach double figures. The 26-year-old also grabbed a season-high six rebounds. While he has yet to see a significant bump in minutes with Jakob Poeltl (back) sidelined, Mamukelashvili remains a candidate for increased playing time in Sunday's game against Memphis.
Oct 28, 2025
Could see increased role
Mamukelashvili contributed five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili logged 17 minutes Monday, ending with a modest showing, to say the least. However, a recurring back injury to Jakob Poeltl could see Mamukelashvili step into a larger role. While the severity of the injury is yet to be determined, the fact it has been an issue since the preseason is worth noting. If Mamukelshvili is to play a sizeable role, he could be worth a look, even in standard 12-team leagues.
Oct 25, 2025
Plays 16 minutes in loss
Mamukelashvili finished Friday's 122-116 loss to Milwaukee with four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili is in competition with Jonathan Mogbo backing up Jakob Poeltl, but has played more minutes in both contests to start the season. However, barring injury he should only be considered as a fantasy option in deeper leagues due to overall lack of production.
Oct 17, 2025
Strong showing off bench
Mamukelashvili produced 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes during Friday's 119-114 preseason win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili notably logged more playing time in the preseason finale than Jonathan Mogbo (one minute) after the starting center, Jakob Poeltl, was shut down for the rest of the night due to back stiffness. This is likely an indication that Mamukelasvili has a leg up for the backup center role, and if Poeltl is unable to suit up for Opening Night on Wednesday against Atlanta, Mamukelashvili would presumably be in line for an uptick in opportunities.
Oct 13, 2025
Flirts with double-double Sunday
Mamukelashvili closed with eight points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili remained in the starting lineup Sunday, delivering another intriguing performance. While Jakob Poeltl is locked in as the starting center for the upcoming season, Mamukelashvili has a shot at the primary backup role. Both he and Jonathan Mogbo will be battling for minutes, with neither a clear frontrunner at this point.
Oct 10, 2025
Enters first five Friday
Mamukelashvili will start Friday's preseason game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors are getting a look at Mamukelashvili in the starting lineup, pushing Jonathan Mogbo to the bench. Both big men are competing for the top backup center role behind Jakob Poeltl (back), who is taking a seat Friday.
Oct 7, 2025
Adds 15 points from bench in debut
Mamukelashvili logged 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 23 minutes in Monday's 112-108 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
After failing to catch on in Milwaukee and San Antonio, Mamukelashvili hopes to gain some traction with his new team, although he'll be fighting for time behind Jakob Poeltl with Jonathan Mogbo. Despite his size, the Seton Hall product is an apt floor-stretching center thanks to a nifty perimeter shot, a facet he showed off a bit during Monday's game. He has no fantasy value at this point, although an injury to Poeltl or Mogbo would offer him increased opportunity.
Jul 1, 2025
Signs with Toronto
Mamukelashvili agreed to a two-year, $5.5 million contract with the Raptors on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili spent the last two seasons with the Spurs before agreeing to a deal with Toronto on Tuesday. The 25-year-old played in 61 games last season and averaged 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 14, 2025
Decent all-around performance
Mamukelashvili had 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili finishes the 2024-25 campaign with a decent showing, scoring an efficient 12 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists. The 25-year-old big man was thrust into a more significant role this season following the season-ending blood clot issue for Victor Wembanyama. He averaged 6.3 points and 3.1 rebounds across 11.2 minutes per game, shooting a career-high 50.2 percent from the field for San Antonio.
Apr 12, 2025
Flirts with double-double in loss
Mamukelashvili chipped in 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili appeared in 60 games with the Spurs this season, and although he averaged only 11 minutes per game, the Seton Hall product has distinguished himself as a worthy backup during Victor Wembanyama's (shoulder) absence. Although Bismack Biyombo has been the mainstay with the first unit, he hasn't been very consistent. If Mamukelashvili stays with the team, he could begin the year as Wembanyama's primary backup.
Apr 10, 2025
Solid outing off bench
Mamukelashvili recorded 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-111 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Despite coming off the bench, Mamukelashvili tied with Keldon Johnson for a team-high eight rebounds in Wednesday's win. However, the 25-year-old big man has struggled with his efficiency as of late, shooting just 39.4 percent from the field across his previous 10 outings.
Apr 3, 2025
Records double-double off bench
Mamukelashvili produced 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Despite coming off the bench, Mamukelashvili recorded a double-double Wednesday. The 2021 second-rounder has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option lately, as he's played minutes in the 20s just twice over his last 12 outings. During this span, Mamukelashvili has averaged 11.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 16.5 minutes while shooting 45.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 31, 2025
First double-double of season
Mamukelashvili logged 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 25 minutes during Sunday's 148-106 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs looked overmatched against the Warriors from start to finish, but Mamukelashvili was one of the few second-unit members who managed to get something going as San Antonio lost by 42 points Sunday. This was Mamukelashvili's first double-double of the season, and he's been making the most of his minutes available in recent weeks. He's averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game across 16 March appearances despite logging just 12.3 minutes per game.
Mar 25, 2025
Paces second unit in defeat
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Mar 20, 2025
Erupts for 34 points
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.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili easily set a new career-high mark with 34 points, doing all his damage in 19 minutes. Despite not playing in the third quarter, Mamukelashvili went bonkers in the final frame for 21 of his points. With Bismack Biyombo limited to just 10 minutes Wednesday, Mamukelashvili is going to be a popular pickup following this eruption.
Mar 13, 2025
Fails to score in win
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.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili once again saw limited minutes off the bench, despite the fact the Spurs are shorthanded when it comes to center options. In 12 games over the past month, 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 just yet.
Jan 25, 2025
Ejected against Indiana
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.
ANALYSIS
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. However, since the 25-year-old committed his foul so late in the game, he hardly missed any action.
Dec 7, 2024
Logs season-high 17 minutes
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 5, 2024
Scores five points in loss Monday
Mamukelashvili closed Monday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in five minutes.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili was productive in his limited run during Monday's loss. The 25-year-old has averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across 6.0 minutes per game in five regular-season appearances. The big man has also shot an efficient 58.3 percent from the floor, and he could see a slight uptick in minutes with Jeremy Sochan (thumb) out for a significant period of time.
Oct 8, 2024
Productive off bench
Mamukelashvili tallied 14 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 112-107 preseason loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili was San Antonio's leading bench scorer during their preseason opener. If the 25-year-old big man can hit threes consistently this season, that would be a positive development after shooting just 29.7 percent from behind the arc in 2023-24.
Jul 16, 2024
Returning to San Antonio
The Spurs signed Mamukelashvili to a one-year, $2.2 million contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili made 46 appearances for San Antonio in 2023-24 and averaged 4.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 9.8 minutes. Mamukelashvili will likely compete for depth minutes in the frontcourt behind Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins (shoulder).
Jul 8, 2024
Becomes unrestricted free agent
San Antonio renounced their free agent rights on Mamukelashvili on Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs initially extended a qualifying offer to Mamukelashvili to make him a restricted free agent, giving them the ability to match opposing offers. However, the Spurs renouncing their free agent rights gives him the opportunity to negotiate elsewhere as an unrestricted free agent.
Jun 30, 2024
Becomes restricted free agent
The Spurs extended a qualifying offer to Mamukelashvili on Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs will have the opportunity to match opposing offers made to Mamukelashvili during free agency. The 24-year-old appeared in 46 games in 2023-24 and averaged 4.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 9.8 minutes.
Apr 15, 2024
Hits for team-high 18 in win
Mamukelashvili posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs deployed a balanced attack with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sitting out the season finale, and while Mamukelashvili's 18 points led the club, all five San Antonio starters and eight players in total scored in double digits. Mamukelashvili started four straight games to close out the campaign and averaged 12.5 points, 11.8 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.8 threes, and the 2021 second-round pick will compete for a bench role next season.
Apr 13, 2024
Tallies season-high 21 points
Mamukelashvili totaled 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Friday's 121-120 victory over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili made his third consecutive start in Friday's win over Denver. The 24-year-old big man recorded a season-high 21 points en route to his third double-double of 2023-24. Mamukelashvili is averaging 11.8 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 27.3 minutes across his four starts this season.
Apr 10, 2024
Pulls down 16 rebounds
Mamukelashvili closed Tuesday's 102-87 win over the Grizzlies with 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Making just his second start of the campaign, Mamukelashvili certainly turned some heads as he pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds. He appeared to mesh well with Victor Wembanyama, and Mamukelashvili could get an extended look in the final three games of the regular season.
Apr 9, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Mamukelashvili will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili will start alongside Victor Wembanyama with Keldon Johnson sitting out with an ankle issue. In his only other start of the season, Mamukelashvili produced 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.
Apr 7, 2024
Shifts back to bench
Mamukelashvili will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili made his first start of the season Friday, but he will shift back to a bench role with Keldon Johnson returning to the starting five. The 24-year-old pro has played well as of late, logging four straight double-digit scoring performances and averaging 7.0 rebounds per game over that stretch.
Apr 5, 2024
Starting Friday
Mamukelashvili will start at power forward in Friday's game against the Pelicans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili's trip to the starting lineup will mark his first of the season. He is replacing Cedi Osman in the first-five.
Apr 3, 2024
Firts with double-double Tuesday
Mamukelashvili chipped in 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili fell one rebound short of his second straight double-double, starting the second half in place of Cedi Osman who left due to an ankle injury. If Osman misses additional time, Mamukelashvili could be worth considering as a late-season flier.
Apr 1, 2024
Shows up with double-double
Mamukelashvili provided 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Coach Gregg Popovich can always be counted on for some interesting offensive sets, and it was amusing to see Mamukelashvili play a hybrid four with Victor Wembanyama during certain points in the game. The Spurs would have a height advantage over the entire league if the scheme was used frequently. His appearance is probably just a blip on the radar, however.
Mar 13, 2024
Increased role Tuesday
Mamukelashvili finished Tuesday's 103-101 loss to Houston with six points (3-3 FG), five rebounds and three assists over 11 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili played 11 minutes in the win, the most he has played in the past two weeks. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, he typically receives limited minutes, resulting in less-than-ideal production. He is a name to watch, should the Spurs opt to move away from their starters at some point. Until then, he can be left safely on waivers.
Feb 26, 2024
Pops for eight points Sunday
Mamukelashvili notched eight points (4-5 FG), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 14 minutes during Sunday's 128-109 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili logged double-digit minutes for just the seventh time this season, scoring eight points with a pair of steals. It's been another season of disappointment for Mamukelashvili, typically used sparingly off the bench. While he is not worth rostering at this point, managers should keep an eye on him, should Victor Wembanyama and/or Zach Collins miss any time down the stretch.
Jan 14, 2024
Relevant role sans Wembanyama
Mamukelashvili amassed eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili logged 15-plus minutes for the fourth occasion this season, with Saturday's bump in usage attributed to Victor Wembanyama resting. He chipped in respectably and finished with a tolerable minus-6 net rating, but he remains far removed from fantasy radar.
Jan 1, 2024
Balanced outing off bench in loss
Mamukelashvili recorded seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 134-101 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total while adding four assists and ending three points shy of the double-digit mark in a balanced outing off the bench in the New Year's Eve battle. Mamukelashvili has tallied at least five points and five rebounds in two games this year.
Dec 10, 2023
Back to NBA after G League outing
The Spurs recalled Mamukelashvili from the G League's Austin Spurs on Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili hadn't been a regular part of San Antonio's rotation this season, so the third-year center was assigned to the G League over the weekend to pick up some playing time. He was no match for the G League competition, as he amassed 34 points (12-24 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 22 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 35 minutes in Austin's 124-122 win over the Texas Legends. He'll now rejoin the NBA club for practice Sunday, while San Antonio sends another third-year big man in Charles Bassey to Austin to get minutes for the G League club in Sunday's matchup with the Legends.
Nov 17, 2023
Listed available
Mamukelashvili (back) is available for Friday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Mamukelashvili has been upgraded from probable to available and will play Friday despite missing Tuesday's loss to the Thunder with back soreness. Across three appearances, Mamukelashvili has averaged 1.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 6.3 minutes per game.
Nov 16, 2023
Likely to suit up Friday
Mamukelashvili (back) is probable for Friday's game versus the Kings, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili is expected to play Friday after missing the previous game with back soreness. However, the 24-year-old big man is unlikely to receive much playing time.
Nov 14, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Mamukelashvili (back) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to mid-back tightness. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Sacramento.
Nov 14, 2023
Questionable for Tuesday
Mamukelashvili is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to back tightness.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation this season, so his status won't have many fantasy implications.
Jul 1, 2023
Returns to San Antonio
Mamukelashvili has re-signed with the Spurs on a one-year, $2 million deal Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili scored a season-high 20 points Tuesday, just the second time in his career that he has scored at least 20. With Zach Collins given a night of rest, Mamukelashvili cobbled together a strong two-way performance, rewarding anyone who took a chance on him. He is locked in as the primary backup when Collins is available, making him a viable stream option on most nights.
Mar 21, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Mamukelashvili is starting at center against the Pelicans on Tuesday according to Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune.
ANALYSIS
Zach Collins is being rested for the first leg of the back-to-back set, but we'll likely see him play Wednesday against the Bucks. With Charles Bassey (knee) out for the season, the Spurs are thin up front which means Mamukelashvili could see a heavy workload.
Mar 17, 2023
Returns to bench
Mamukelashvili isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Zach Collins will replace Mamukelashvili in the starting five Friday. Mamukelashvili is averaging 8.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.0 minutes across his last five outings.
Mar 16, 2023
Underwhelms in starting role
Mamukelashvili started and produced 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 137-128 overtime loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
With starting center Zach Collins (ankle) sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set and three other rotation regulars also in street clothes due minor injuries or for rest purposes, Mamukelashvili moved up to the top unit and looked as though he would have a big opportunity ahead of him. Though he put up plenty of shots, Mamukelashvili's poor efficiency resulted in a relatively disappointing line for anyone who streamed him. He'll likely move back to the bench against the Grizzlies on Friday when Collins presumably returns to the lineup, but Mamukelashvili should be fairly secure as the No. 2 center on the depth chart after Charles Bassey (kneecap) suffered a season-ending injury earlier this week.
Mar 15, 2023
Starting for injured Collins
Mamukelashvili will start Wednesday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
With Zach Collins (ankle) out Wednesday and Charles Bassey (knee) out for the rest of the season, Mamukelashvili will get the nod at center in his first start of the campaign. He's been a rotation regular over the past five games, averaging 7.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.6 minutes.
Mar 15, 2023
Plays 21 minutes in blowout win

ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili played his most minutes since joining the Spurs and continues to provide modest production off the bench. Across five appearances with San Antonio, the second-year big man is averaging 7.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.6 minutes with 42/46/63 shooting splits.
Mar 3, 2023
Headed to San Antonio
The Spurs are signing Mamukelashvili on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Let go by Milwaukee

Dec 18, 2022
Delivers diverse line off bench
Mamukelashvili finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists across 23 minutes off the bench Saturday in the Bucks' 123-97 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off a call-up from the G League's Wisconsin Herd, the second-year big man stepped into Milwaukee's rotation Saturday while the Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (knee). With Milwaukee also limiting the playing time of several other veterans due to the blowout, Mamukelashvili was able to tie his most minutes of the season while also establishing a new career-high mark in assists. Assuming Antetokounmpo is back in action Monday against the Pelicans, Mamukelashvili could find himself back outside of the rotation, if not inactive for the contest entirely.
Nov 7, 2022
Available Monday
Mamukelaveshvili is active for Monday's meeting with the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili has only appeared in one game this season and has missed each of the last three contests due to a concussion. Mamukelashvili should not factor into the Bucks' rotation on most nights as the fourth center option and will likely spend some time in with the Bucks' G League affiliate Wisconsin Herd this season.
Nov 6, 2022
Questionable for Monday
Mamukelashvili (concussion) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili has been dealing with a concussion since the start of November and is in danger of missing another contest. However, he's only played two minutes this season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact Milwaukee's rotation.
Nov 5, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Mamukelashvili (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) also questionable, Mamukelashvili's presence, if available, could come in handy. He's played only two total minutes this year, but last year, he averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.9 minutes across 41 appearances.
Nov 3, 2022
Out Friday
Mamukelashvili (concussion) remains out Friday at Minnesota.
ANALYSIS

Nov 1, 2022
Won't play Wednesday
Mamukelashvili is out for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons due to a concussion evaluation.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili started and played 32 minutes in Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Bulls. He tallied 13 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. However, Mamukelashvili returns to the bench Wednesday with the Bucks' typical starting five returning.
Apr 10, 2022
Leads rag-tag group with 28 points
Mamukelashvili supplied 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Sunday's 133-115 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The Bucks made a deep dive into their bench for the irrelevant game, and they gave the rookie out of Seton Hall a full 43 minutes. He joined an unlikely group of scoring leaders who found themselves down by as much as 40 points, but the Bucks' bench effort was able to bring the game within 12 in the second half.
Apr 10, 2022
Starting regular-season finale
Mamukelashvili will start Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Brook Lopez (back), Bobby Portis (shoulder), Serge Ibaka (illness) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) all sidelined, Mamukelashvili will draw his third start of the season. Across his previous two starts, the rookie has averaged 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.
Mar 24, 2022
Recalled, available Thursday
Mamukelashvili was recalled and is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili could get back in the rotation Thursday with Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (wrist) sidelined. Since the start of February, he's appeared in eight games with averages of 3.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.4 minutes.
Mar 6, 2022
Back with NBA club
The Bucks recalled Mamukelashvili from the G League's Wisconsin Herd ahead of Sunday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
With four Milwaukee players ruled out for Sunday's game due to injury, Mamukelashvili should be active for the contest, but the rookie second-round pick is unlikely to be included in head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation in a rematch of last season's NBA Finals.
Feb 24, 2022
Returns to G League
Milwaukee transferred Mamukelashvili to the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili played in each of the Bucks' previous four games prior to the All-Star break, posting per-game averages of 1.5 points and 1.0 boards across 5.0 minutes. The 22-year-old played for Wisconsin in a G League loss to Motor City on Wednesday, recording 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals. As a two-way player, Mamukelashvili can be recalled to the parent NBA squad but cannot be signed by another NBA team.
Jan 11, 2022
Minimal impact in loss
Mamukelashvili provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 11 minutes during Monday's 103-99 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
With Brook Lopez sidelined since Opening Night, Mamukelashvili has continued to garner a small role off the bench. However, the rookie is averaging just 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes and doesn't warrant any fantasy consideration.
Dec 24, 2021
Off injury report
Mamukelashvili (illness) is off the injury report for Saturday's matchup against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The rookie missed two straight games with an illness. Though available, he may not play on Christmas with the Bucks nearing full health.

Out Wednesday
Mamukelashvili (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Mamukelashvili was a late add to the Bucks' injury report and won't be available against the Rockets due to a non-COVID illness. DeMarcus Cousins will get the start at center for the Bucks.
Dec 18, 2021
Starting Saturday
Mamukelashvili will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Dec 4, 2021
Drawing spot start
Mamukelashvili will start Saturday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The Bucks are down George Hill (knee), Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Grayson Allen (illness), so the rookie will get the nod. In the three games that he's seen double-digit minutes, he's averaged 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds.
Oct 22, 2021
Earns his stripes in Thursday's loss
Mamukelashvili tallied 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 137-95 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
With the Bucks low on frontcourt depth, Mamukelashvili stepped up to the plate and certainly didn't look out of place. His production was decent enough but his versatile skillset was on show as he made the most of some early season court time. When the Bucks are at full strength, he is unlikely to play a meaningful role and so managers in deeper formats should just keep an eye on him moving forward.
Oct 9, 2021
Pops for 20 points, 11 boards
Mamukelashvili managed 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 119-115 preseason loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 54th overall pick in this summer's draft showed some nice upside during Friday's preseason contest. He's on a two-way deal with Milwaukee, so he should see plenty of opportunities to post nice numbers in the G League.
Aug 4, 2021
Signs two-way deal with MIL
Mamukelashvili signed a two-way contract with the Bucks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
After being selected by the Bucks with the 54th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, it didn't take long for the 6-foot-11 forward to ink a two-way deal with his new team.
