Kelly

Olynyk

Kornet won’t be available for the Spurs’ final game of the regular season, which may free up minutes for Mason Plumlee, Kelly Olynyk and even Bismack Biyombo. Victor Wembanyama is considered questionable, but he guaranteed that he’ll be eligible for postseason awards by logging 26 minutes in Friday’s win over the Mavericks, so the MVP candidate may not play much on Sunday.

Kornet will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back, which means he should be available against the Clippers on Thursday. Kelly Olynyk and Mason Plumlee should fill a few minutes down low off the bench.

Kornet missed Wednesday’s game against Memphis, but he will be back to take on Milwaukee. Kelly Olynyk and Mason Plumlee each filled out a few minutes off the bench in the blowout, but Kornet will occupy the backup center minutes in his return.

Due to soreness in his right knee, Kornet will not play on Monday. Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk can handle the backup center responsibilities, but neither player should be rostered in fantasy leagues since Victor Wembanyama is available.

Kornet’s absence on Thursday did not result in Kelly Olynyk returning to the rotation, as he picked up a DNP-CD. The Spurs went small when Victor Wembanyama wasn’t on the floor, with Carter Bryant logging 18 minutes off the bench. Regardless of what happens with Kornet for Saturday’s game, Bryant should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Olynyk is good to go after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Thunder. With Luke Kornet (adductor, ankle) out, Olynyk will step into the backup center role. With Victor Wembanyama getting most of the minutes, there isn’t much upside to streaming Olynyk.

Kornet has been filling the backup center minutes recently, but that role will fall to Kelly Olynyk for this game if he is available. He is questionable with left foot soreness, which means Bismack Biyombo would be next in line to fill the role.

Initially listed as questionable with a foot injury, Olynyk has subsequently been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. With Victor Wembanyama healthy, Olynyk wouldn’t have entered the Spurs rotation anyway, so his absence doesn’t impact the plans of the Spurs or fantasy managers.

Olynyk could miss this game, but he hasn’t been part of the rotation for San Antonio since Victor Wembanyama returned to the lineup. With Wemby healthy, Olynyk’s status won’t impact the Spurs’ rotation.

Wembanyama is on the injury report after playing 31 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, joining Stephon Castle (adductor) on the questionable line. If Wemby is given the night off, the Spurs would turn to Luke Kornet to fill the void in the starting lineup. Wembanyama’s absence would also push Kelly Olynyk into the rotation.
