Luke Kornet Fantasy Stats

According to Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com, San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kornet is set to return after missing Wednesday's win over Golden State. The 30-year-old veteran big man will likely start in place of superstar Victor Wembanyama (ankle), who is sidelined due to ankle injury management. Across 63 outings, Kornet is averaging 6.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest.

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Kornet will have tomorrow evening off for right knee injury management. The 30-year-old big man is averaging 6.6 points and 6.3 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per contest across 61 appearances this campaign. He could be back in action on Saturday against the Bucks. Kelly Olynyk and Mason Plumlee will take on extra frontcourt minutes while Kornet is sidelined.

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Sacramento after sitting out the previous contest. Kornet has averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes over his last five games, offering modest value in deeper formats for rebounds and occasional blocks. His return should bring some stability to the backup center minutes behind Victor Wembanyama and may slightly cut into Mason Plumlee's playing time. Kornet remains a low-upside option, though he can help as a deep-league filler when extra size stats are needed.

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 Luke Kornet (adductor) won't play against the Utah Jazz on Thursday. Kornet is dealing with left adductor tightness. His next chance to suit up is Sunday versus New Orleans. The 30-year-old big man has played in 36 games this campaign, averaging 8.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 24.3 minutes per contest. With Kornet out of action this evening, 36-year-old veteran Kelly Olynyk will likely jump back into the rotation and backup star center Victor Wembanyama.

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (ankle) won't play when his team visits the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. Kornet got dinged up on Wednesday night in Orlando, but finished the game and had a game-winning block at the end of regulation. The Spurs' big offseason acquisition has been starting in place of Victor Wembanyama (calf). With Kornet and Wembanyama off the court, San Antonio will be forced into playing a smaller lineup. Kelly Olynyk, Jeremy Sochan, and possibly Bismack Biyombo will see most of the minutes at the five.

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.
