Sandro Mamukelashvili delivered a breakout, all-around performance for the Toronto Raptors on January 3, 2026, proving steady bench value and earning extended minutes.

Raptors overcame cold three-point shooting and the absence of Jakob Poeltl through bench scoring, defensive stops, and shot making to claw back into the game.

Tristan Vukcevic failed to capitalize on extended minutes, scoring five points in 15 minutes as the Wizards lost 119-86 to the Pacers.

Pelle Larsson has earned a long-term rotation spot for the Miami Heat through efficient scoring, defense, energy, and secondary playmaking despite upcoming returns.
