Expanded role in Friday's loss Mamukelashvili chipped in 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 112-95 loss to the Knicks.
The Scoop: Mamukelashvili operated as the Raptors' top big man off the bench behind starting center Jakob Poeltl due to the absence of Collin Murray-Boyles (neck). Mamukelashvili took advantage of the expanded role and ended up finishing as the Raptors' leading scorer. He will likely see a decrease in minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nets, assuming Murray-Boyles is cleared to return. Apr 11 4:32 ET |
