Raptors Sign Mamukelashvili, Roster Cuts Loom

The Toronto Raptors have signed forward/center Sandro Mamukelashvili to a two-year, $5.5 million contract with a player option for the second year, as reported by ESPN's Shams Charania. Mamukelashvili played 61 games last season with the San Antonio Spurs, averaging 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and shooting 50.2% from the field and 37.3% from three-point range. Known for his energy, floor spacing, and a standout 34-point performance last season, he is expected to serve as a reliable backup to Jakob Poeltl. The signing brings the Raptors' roster to 17 standard contracts, meaning roster cuts will be necessary before the season begins. Mamukelashvili’s addition likely finalizes Toronto’s offseason moves, as the team is already into the luxury tax.
