Luke

Kornet

Kornet suffered a right leg contusion in Monday’s game against the Pistons, but returned in the third quarter. He’ll resume his role as the primary backup to Victor Wembanyama.

Kornet suffered a right leg contusion in the first half of Monday’s game against the Pistons and is questionable to return. Carter Bryant should fill in for Kornet while he’s out.

Kornet is back after a one-game absence with adductor and ankle injuries. While the Spurs decided to go small when Victor Wembanyama was sitting in their last game, expect Kornet to resume his role as the backup center on Saturday. That’s not a role that necessitates him being rostered in most fantasy leagues, however.

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.

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.

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.

Kornet is good to go after missing Thursday’s win over the Jazz. His return means that the Spurs won’t have to go small when Victor Wembanyama rests. Kornet’s fantasy ceiling isn’t great, but he is worth rostering in deep leagues.

Kornet did not play in Thursday’s win over the Jazz. The Spurs went small for most of the minutes Victor Wembanyama wasn’t on the floor; expect a similar approach if Kornet can’t play against New Orleans.

Sochan is good to go after initially being listed as questionable. While he has not affected fantasy basketball this season, there may be a few more minutes available since Luke Kornet (adductor) is out.

Kornet has been battling left adductor tightness but has continued to play around 20 minutes a game. This will be his first missed game since December 5th. Bismack Biyombo could move into the rotation, but the Spurs may be able to get by with going small and playing Harrison Barnes or Keldon Johnson more minutes.
