The Toronto Raptors are facing uncertainty regarding forward Sandro Mamukelashvili as he is expected to decline his $2.8 million player option for the 2026-27 season. With free agency approaching, the Raptors aim to retain the key contributor who averaged 11.2 points and 4.9 rebounds last season but could demand up to $10 million. Teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics have shown interest in him. The Raptors, having navigated significant roster changes this offseason, may struggle to match competing offers due to limited salary cap flexibility.
