Former Milwaukee Bucks Player Signs New Deal With San Antonio Spurs
Although he no longer plays for the Milwaukee Bucks, Sandro Mamukelashvili remains a valuable asset to any NBA team. The San Antonio Spurs noted this detail and just signed him to a new contract.
Mamukelashvili, a Georgian-American professional basketball player, was selected in the second round with the 54th overall choice by the Indiana Pacers in the 2021 NBA Draft. He subsequently signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he would play for two seasons from 2021-2023.
During his tenure with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, Mamukelashvili also played for their G League club, the Wisconsin Herd. He performed admirably in the 2023 NBA G League Next Up Game and was picked to the roster.
In 2023, the forward signed with the San Antonio Spurs, where he presently plays center/power forward. He’s continued to improve his game, demonstrating his flexibility as a big man who can score, rebound, and assist.
The former Bucks forward showed promise last season, averaging good output in extended playing time at the conclusion of the season. His arrival brings the Spurs’ regular season roster to 14 players, one shy of the maximum.
The Spurs renewed Mamukelashvili with a new contract after a decent performance before the end of the previous season. ESPN Insider Adrian Wojnarowski verified the news in a tweet on his official X account.
Before proving his talents with San Antonio, the Georgian-American forward played two seasons with Milwaukee. During those time, Mamukelasvili averaged 3.2 points, 34 percent from deep, and 2.1 rebounds.
With the former Bucks forward signed for another year, the Spurs will be able to appreciate his abilities more on the court, especially because All-Star point guard Chris Paul will lead the team’s attack. Mamukelashvili is likely to prosper further with Victor Wembanyama and colleagues.
