Luke Kornet Fantasy Stats

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (ankle, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man hasn't played since October 24. Kornet is averaging eight points and eight rebounds through two appearances this season. The return of their backup center would give the Spurs more flexibility while superstar Victor Wembanyama rests. Kornet primarily plays as the team's reserve center, but has shared the floor with Wembanyama for a little more than 12 minutes of his 50 minutes played this season, giving the team a true "twin towers" lineup when they choose to utilize it.

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (ankle) will miss his third straight game on Thursday night against the Miami Heat. Kornet has been dealing with a left ankle sprain that's kept him out since San Antonio's overtime win over the Pelicans on October 24th. Kornet can provide a lot of value from deep but his role will be limited with Victor Wembanyama on the roster. Expect Bismack Biyambo to get more minutes while Kornet recovers. Biyambo has not been productive off the bench in Kornet's absence and fantasy managers should look for other options if they need help at center.

Former Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet is heading south to San Antonio. ESPN's Shams Charania reports Kornet and the Spurs have agreed to a four-year, $41 million contract. The deal reportedly includes a team option for the final season. Kornet, one of the league's best rim protectors last season, will serve as the backup to franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama. The pair could also see some spot minutes together. While the Spurs were in desperate need of a backup big man, the change of scenery doesn't move the needle for Kornet's fantasy basketball value. The 7-footer averaged a career-best 18.6 minutes per game last season. That number may stay consistent, barring an injury in San Antonio's frontcourt.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet turned into an unexpected hero in Wednesday night's Game 5 against the New York Knicks, producing a hugely impressive two-way performance off the bench in a 127-102 victory. Kornet finished the contest with 10 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a career-high seven blocks. It's the third-highest number of blocks a player has achieved coming off the bench in NBA Playoffs history. The seven-footer from Vanderbilt shot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field and ended up logging 26 minutes on the floor, as Boston played the entire second half without Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis, who finished with one point in 12 minutes of action on Wednesday, is clearly not himself this postseason, and the Celtics may need to rely even more on Kornet going forward.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (illness) will not suit up for Monday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran big man had an impressive outing on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs, but he has been struck by an illness, which will take Kornet out of the lineup for the first time since Feb. 26. Al Horford (toe), who missed Saturday's matchup, should naturally take over Kornet's minutes. March has been by far Horford's best month of the season, as he has averaged 12.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (personal) will return to the lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed two games due to a personal matter. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out on Friday, we may see Kornet on the floor more than usual. He has performed well for the Celtics in a limited role, averaging 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 18.3 minutes this month, with a 78.9 field-goal percentage.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (personal) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kornet could miss his third consecutive contest due to personal reasons. The Celtics will lean on Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman Sr. to fill the backup center role if Kornet is sidelined. With the 29-year-old potentially out of action, fantasy managers' lineups won't be affected as he is not a major contributor in fantasy.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (personal) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. His run of consecutive appearances will come to an end at 34 games due to personal reasons. Al Horford (toe) is questionable for the first leg of a back-to-back, which means Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) may receive additional run-outs. They are also on the injury report but listed as probable for the contest. Queta has typically been productive when he logs at least 20 minutes in the rotation. During his last outing where Queta spent 20-plus minutes on the floor, he recorded 11 points, eight rebounds, one steal, and one block.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) will play on Friday against Chicago. The big man has been battling a hamstring strain for a while. However, it won't keep him off the floor. But with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available, Kornet will have a tough time getting minutes, meaning fantasy managers need to keep him out of the starting lineup.

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The big man is in danger of missing his third straight contest due to a hamstring issue. His absence won't mean too much for the Celtics rotation given the fact Kornet has only been playing minutes in the teens this season. Al Horford and Neemias Queta will see more minutes in the rotation if Kornet continues to sit. Horford is the better streaming option between the two of them due to his defensive ability.
