"You cannot ask for more out of a guy who the Raptors invested so little in and took a flier to see what he could bring to this squad, and he is quickly emerging as a top fan favorite and absolute spark off the bench. The Raptors are officially the East Group A winners in the NBA Cup bracket, becoming the first squad to move on to the Knockout Rounds."
"In this game, the masterful work of Mamu was on full display. He secured his best performance of an already standout 2025-26 campaign for the Georgian big man. Mamukelashvili led all Raptors reserves in points scored, with a stellar 22-point night on 8-for-15 shooting from the field, including 2-for-3 from deep. He also contributed seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal, posting a second team-high plus-minus of +22 in just over 20 minutes of play."
On November 21 the Raptors defeated the Washington Wizards 140-110, clinching East Group A and advancing to the NBA Cup Knockout Rounds. Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting, including 2-for-3 from three, added seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, and posted a +22 plus-minus in just over 20 minutes. That performance was his best of the 2025-26 season and his first 20-plus point game since a 34-point outburst on March 19, 2025. He offers efficient scoring, energy off the bench, and strong value on a low-cost contract compared with other $2–2.5 million players.
