LA Lakers land Sandro Mamukelashvili

Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) tabbed 27-year old Georgian international 6-9 power forward Sandro Mamukelashvili (college: Seton Hall) for new season. He is a well-known player in USA NBA as he played most recently at Toronto Raptors. In 87 NBA games he averaged 10.7ppg, 4.9rpg and 1.8apg last season.

Mamukelashvili also represented Georgia at the FIBA Olympic Games Qualifying Tournament in Riga (Latvia) two years ago. But his stats at that event were not that impressive as he did not score anything.

Among many awards he won NBA Central Division championship title in 2022. He was also voted to All-Big East Co-Player of the Year back in 2021 at his college time.
