Kelly Olynyk Fantasy Stats

Free-agent forward/center Kelly Olynyk could return to the San Antonio Spurs as they weigh their 15th roster spot, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Olynyk has spent time in San Antonio and worked out with former Spurs teammates this offseason, but tax concerns could push any deal into the season. The Spurs sit about $2.15 million below the luxury-tax line, while a veteran-minimum deal would carry a cap hit around $2.45 million. The 35-year-old played a limited role with San Antonio last season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 8.6 minutes. Even if he signs, Victor Wembanyama, Luke Kornet, Tarris Reed Jr., and Jayden Quaintance (knee) leave Olynyk off fantasy radars.

Free-agent forward/center Kelly Olynyk is drawing interest from the Golden State Warriors as they look to fill out the back end of the roster, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Olynyk, 35, would give Golden State another stretch-big option behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, with his passing and floor spacing fitting the offense around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The concern is how much he has left. He averaged just 3.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists with San Antonio last season, and Golden State would be adding him as depth rather than a locked-in rotation piece. Olynyk would need injuries ahead of him to regain fantasy relevance.

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (adductor, ankle) won't suit up on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, while forward/center Kelly Olynyk (foot) has been cleared to play. Kornet has been banged up lately and will get some rest after his big 15-rebound performance in Wednesday's win over Oklahoma City. Olynyk will take over Kornet's duties as a reserve big behind Victor Wembanyama. He was initially listed as questionable for Thursday's game. Even when healthy, Olynyk hasn't played for the Spurs lately, so this will be an opportunity for the veteran to impress. However, he is unlikely to make a fantasy impact.

San Antonio Spurs center/power forward Kelly Olynyk (heel) was questionable for the first half of the team's back-to-back on Friday at home against the Rockets, but he was upgraded to available. In his season debut on Wednesday, he chipped in four points, four rebounds, and three assists across nine minutes. With Luke Kornet (ankle) sidelined again, Olynyk will back up start center Victor Wembanyama on Friday. However, he could end up sitting out Saturday's game against the Pelicans, which would open more time for Bismack Biyombo. Olynyk doesn't seem ready for a ton of playing time just yet, but he is available and starting to find his role in the Spurs frontcourt.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Kelly Olynyk (heel) is questionable on the injury report for Friday night's action against the Houston Rockets. The veteran big man just made his season debut this week, posting four points, four rebounds, and three assists in nine minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Jeremy Sochan (wrist) made his first appearance of the season as well in Wednesday's game but is also questionable for Friday. The meeting with Houston marks the start of a back-to-back for San Antonio, so the team may use Olynyk in one game and Sochan in the other to manage their workload.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Kelly Olynyk (heel) will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's season-opening contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran big man continues to work his way back from his April heel surgery. San Antonio also won't have the services of Jeremy Sochan (wrist) on Tuesday night, which could push Luke Kornet into a prominent role. The injury situation may also help Keldon Johnson pick up additional work. Olynyk's next chance to make his Spurs debut will be on Friday against his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans. However, it's unclear how far along he is in his rehab.

The San Antonio Spurs have acquired forward/center Kelly Olynyk in a trade with the Washington Wizards. The Wizards only recently picked up Olynyk from the New Orleans Pelicans but are moving him on in exchange for guards Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley, and a 2026 second-round pick. Olynyk will add depth behind star big man Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio, which will limit his fantasy value. Last season, Olynyk averaged 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 20.3 minutes across 44 games with the Pelicans and Toronto Raptors.

The Washington Wizards have acquired forward/center Kelly Olynyk in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran big man was sent to D.C. along with CJ McCollum. Olynyk has played for six teams in five years and will need to pack his bags again. He had a disappointing start to the year with the Toronto Raptors this season, averaging 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. With the Pelicans, Olynyk notched 10.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. He played well in New Orleans but received increased minutes and was a regular starter due to injuries. The same likely won't happen in Washington, and a bench role would limit Olynyk's fantasy appeal.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk has undergone a minimally invasive surgery on his left heel and ultrasound-guided tendon debridement, the team announced. He had the procedure performed on Friday and is expected to be out for around 3-4 months. Olynyk should be ready for the start of the 2025-26 campaign, but the surgery will certainly impact his offseason work. The veteran big man will enter a contract year next season. His numbers dropped across the board this season, but Olynyk should have some extra motivation in 2025-26 as he approaches his 35th birthday. He finished this season with averages of 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 20.3 minutes over 44 games with the Pelicans and Toronto Raptors.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk (finger) will be active on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. The versatile veteran is dealing with a sprained finger, but the team has upgraded Olynyk's status from questionable to available. Since acquiring him from the Toronto Raptors, New Orleans has regularly used Olynyk as a starter. The 33-year-old is averaging 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists with his new squad.
