"The Toronto Raptors traded Kelly Olynyk as part of the package for Brandon Ingram at the 2025 deadline, and things have further fallen off for the veteran big man. He was traded twice in the offseason and wound up on the Spurs. San Antonio signed Luke Kornet to back up Victor Wembanyama, which has left Olynyk on the fringes of the rotation."
"Even when he has played, the 34-year-old has struggled to make shots and have an impact on winning. The stretch five is shooting just 23.5 percent from 3-point range and has produced a 0.1 value over replacement player (VORP). The Spurs are surprise title contenders, but Olynyk has played over ten minutes in just three of their last 13 games."
Kelly Olynyk was traded from Toronto to San Antonio after being part of the package for Brandon Ingram and has seen his role diminish following further offseason movement. San Antonio added Luke Kornet as Wembanyama's backup, pushing Olynyk to the fringes of the rotation and limiting his minutes. The 34-year-old is shooting 23.5 percent from three and has a 0.1 VORP, averaging 4.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.5 steals in 10.5 minutes over 22 games. He is on a $13.4 million expiring contract and is a plausible trade candidate.
