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

Toronto Raptors center Kelly Olynyk (back) is set to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. This is exciting news for the 33-year-old, who has been sidelined since October due to a back strain. Last season, Olynyk appeared in 28 games for Toronto, contributing 12.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game while playing a key role in the rotation. His minutes will likely be limited in his return, but his presence provides valuable depth to the Raptors' frontcourt. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and make an impact moving forward.

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.
