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

Per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (back) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Celtics due to lower-back stiffness. For the 33-year-old, it will be the second consecutive game that he's missed. Olynyk will get another opportunity to play Friday for the Raptors' final preseason game against Brooklyn. During the 2023-24 campaign, the big man averaged 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, playing in 78 games with Utah and Toronto.

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Olynyk logged 34 minutes in Tuesday's defeat to the visiting Indiana Pacers, and he will catch a breather on the second night of Toronto's back-to-back. Look for the veteran playmaking big man to be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. In his absence, undrafted rookies Mouhamadou Gueye and Malik Williams should split minutes at center for the Raptors on Wednesday. Neither of the two bigs are recommended fantasy streamers against elite rim protector Nicolas Claxton (ankle), who is likely to be available for the Nets.

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The reeling Raptors will give Olynyk a maintenance day on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should have the playmaking big man available for Friday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. With Jakob Poeltl (finger), Chris Boucher (knee), and Jontay Porter (personal) all sidelined, Toronto effectively has no traditional big men left standing against star defensive anchor Rudy Gobert. The Stifle Tower could feast on the glass in this one, as it looks like undrafted rookie Mouhamadou Gueye will fill the starting void down low for the Raps. We would advise staying away for fantasy purposes in most situations.
