A sequence that, let’s hear Darko Rajakovićsays a lot about the former Spurs man’s modus operandi. ” Sandro’s greatest quality is that he is an amazing person, and his greatest weakness is also that he is an amazing person. It means that he cares so much about others. He cares a lot about doing well for the team », developed by the Raptors coach.
This decisive dog tends to prove that he is ” completely disinterested » and how much he brings to this Canadian team. He finished this match with 8 balls delivered, which is a career record.
« Coach tells me every time that if I have a chance to push the ball in transition, I have to do it. He knows what I can do with my dribble, so I was able to make things easier. Hopefully my 3-point shooting will start to come in again, and then I’ll be able to pull off some feints, attack the basket. When you start scoring, everyone becomes more attentive to your shot », Projects the Georgian.
Before this matchup, he finished with zero points against the Nuggets, against whom he missed all five of his attempts, including three 3-pointers.

With an impressive +27 to the result!
A new beginning for 2026
« I’m very hard on myself because I really want to win. It was really hard, especially going into the New Year, but I kind of thought, I’m going to put this behind me in 2025 and go into 2026 with a clear mind, like a fresh start », he says about wanting to forget his last date.
So he went to the gym, ” at night “, to make a few more shots. The left-hander also took the advice of a mental coach to get back on track.” I try to stick to that, to stay mentally present in the moment, and I feel like it helps a lot. »
The Raptors are taking full advantage. With 10.5 points and 5 rebounds every night this season, numbers close to his best averages, he is acting like a very good 6th man.
« All he thinks about is how to help the team, and sometimes guys with that mentality tend to be a little too hard on themselves. If they miss a shot, if they don’t do something well, they surrender to defeat. And that’s why we constantly talk to him, tell him that he has to be himself, that we love him, that we support him, that he plays very well for us. It will continue to improve “, the son coach said.
