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.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Flirts with double-double in loss
Rotowire
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.
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 next season as Wembanyama's primary backup.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Solid outing off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Records double-double off bench
Rotowire
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.
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 that 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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: First double-double of season
Rotowire
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.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Paces second unit in defeat
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.
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
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
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.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Scores five points in loss Monday
Rotowire
Mamukelashvili closed Monday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in five minutes.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Productive off bench
Rotowire
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.
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 he shot just 29.7 percent from beyond the arc in 2023-24.
Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Returning to San Antonio
Rotowire
The Spurs signed Mamukelashvili to a one-year, $2.2 million contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
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).
San Antonio renounced its free-agent rights on Mamukelashvili on Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
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.
The Spurs extended a qualifying offer to Mamukelashvili on Sunday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
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.

Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Hits for team-high 18 in win
Rotowire
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.
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.
