Brooklyn Nets rookie Tornike Shengelia hasn’t gotten much playing time this season — prior to Monday night’s game, the 54th overall pick from Georgia only played 67 minutes the entire season, doing little of consequence in his time on the floor. But with four starters and two bench players resting, Shengelia got his biggest minutes of his career, and he delivered with his first career double-double: 14 points, 11 rebounds, 5-13 shooting from the field, and a team-high +19 in 25 minutes.
Shengelia also recorded two blocks and forced a five-second violation with his on-inbounds defense.
