Georgia’s Comeback Without NBA Stars | Los Angeles Lakers News

Georgia stunned Portugal with a gritty 98-90 comeback win, led by Sandro Mamukelashvili’s 22 points, as they clawed back from a double-digit deficit to dominate the second half. The victory keeps Georgia tied for second in their World Cup qualifying group—just behind Ukraine—with only the top three advancing. But here’s the twist: Georgia will now face their next four games without Mamukelashvili and other NBA stars. Meanwhile, Slovenia also pulled off a big win over Hungary, now sitting third and set to face France—also missing key NBA talent like Luka Dončić. This is proof that depth matters: these teams are proving they can compete—and win—without their biggest names. The race for World Cup spots is heating up.
