Kelly Olynyk's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) has been ruled out Friday for their contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 33-year-old has yet to suit up for the team this season and will miss at least one more. There hasn't been a firm timetable for his return to action either. Jakob Poeltl will continue to get a bulk of the minutes at center while Jonathan Mogbo and Chris Boucher see a lot of added opportunities in the front court as well. Mogbo and Boucher serve as quality streaming options in deeper leagues.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with Charlotte. The veteran big man has yet to play this season due to a back problem. Olynyk's absence has allowed Chris Boucher to hold down a regular spot in the rotation. He has notched 7.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 17.3 minutes. Jonathan Mogbo and Bruno Fernando also benefit from Olynyk's absence. With Scottie Barnes (eye) joining Olynyk and Bruce Brown (knee) on the shelf Wednesday, the second unit could have an even larger role to play versus the Hornets.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) won't suit up for Monday's contest versus the Nuggets. The veteran hasn't played this season due to a lumbar strain in his back. At this point, it's unknown when he'll be on the court. Jakob Poeltl will continue to handle most of the minutes underneath the basket. But until Olynyk makes his 2024-25 debut, Chris Boucher should continue to benefit. However, Boucher has averaged only 8.7 points and 4.7 rebounds, making him an unreliable replacement in all fantasy setups.
