The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Mamukelashvili is coming off of a career-year with the Raptors. 

His scoring average (11.2 points), field goal percentage (52.3%), steals average (.8) and blocks average (.5) with Toronto in 2025-26 were all career-best marks. 

Mamukelashvili, the No. 54 pick in the 2021 draft, has emerged as a reliable three-level scorer, good passer and strong rebounder after playing for the Bucks, Spurs and Raptors. 

While there are defensive concerns, he’ll likely be a reliable bench option who’ll play at the 4 or 5.
