Kelly Olynyk News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Plays limited role in 2025-26 Olynyk finished the 2025-26 season with averages of 3.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 8.8 minutes per tilt in 41 regular-season games.

Impact Olynyk didn't see the floor in the final six games of the postseason, bringing an end to a quiet campaign for the veteran center. The 35-year-old logged double-digit minutes in just 17 of his regular-season appearances, closing with several career-worst averages. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after being traded twice last offseason.

Garbage time special Olynyk closed with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across four minutes during Saturday's 134-119 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Olynyk's season of disappointment continued, moving into the rotation for just the third time in the past 10 games. While he does provide San Antonio with some insurance at the center position, his role is basically non-existent at this point.

Rare appearance in win Olynyk closed with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 131-91 win over the 76ers.

Impact Olynyk joined his fellow benchwarmers, playing the entire fourth quarter as San Antonio easily accounted for a disappointing Philadelphia outfit. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, Olynyk is simply not a factor on most nights, averaging just 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 7.3 minutes per game in 14 appearances over the past two months.

Cleared to play Olynyk (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Olynyk was ruled out for Wednesday's clash due to a foot injury, but he'll be available if needed against Dallas. He could see some minutes behind Victor Wembanyama as the backup center with Luke Kornet (ankle) ruled out.

Questionable for Thursday Olynyk (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Olynyk hasn't been in San Antonio's rotation recently, but he'll be a candidate to soak up some minutes Thursday with the team very shorthanded at the moment. Olynyk has averages of 9.5 minutes across 28 appearances this season.

Not playing Wednesday Olynyk (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.

Impact Olynyk has been a healthy DNP in each of the Spurs' last four games but will be held out of Wednesday's contest due to left foot soreness. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Mavericks, though Olynyk's return wouldn't impact the Spurs' rotation all that much.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Olynyk is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder with left foot soreness.

Impact Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Spurs may be cautious here. Olynyk has been used sparingly this season with an average of 9.5 minutes across 28 appearances.

Back in rotation Wednesday Olynyk chipped in one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 134-132 win over the Knicks.

Impact Olynyk moved back into the rotation, playing double-digit minutes for the first time in his past five appearances. With Victor Wembanyama (knee) going down once again, Olynyk was called upon to play some backup center minutes. If Wembanyama is forced to miss time, those in deeper formats might want to keep an eye on Olynyk's short-term role.

Muted role continues Olynyk racked up one point (1-2 FT), one assist and one steal across two minutes during Tuesday's 130-110 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Olynyk continues to be used sparingly, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the fifth straight game, two of which he failed to touch the floor. Despite having a fantasy-friendly game, Olynyk is simply out of his depth in San Antonio. He would need multiple injuries to other players to have any chance of putting up sustainable value.

Season-high 11 points in win Olynyk chipped in 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 15 minutes during Monday's 135-132 victory over New Orleans.

Impact The Spurs continue to limit the minutes of Olynyk, who had his start to the season delayed by heel surgery. Victor Wembanyama (calf) is traveling with the team ahead of Wednesday's showdown with the Lakers, so Olynyk appears to be clinging to fantasy relevance. The veteran center has averaged 4.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 11.0 minutes per night across 13 games this season.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced role continues Olynyk ended Friday's 130-117 loss to the Cavaliers with one point (1-2 FT) and one rebound in six minutes.

Impact Olynyk managed just six minutes, despite the fact that San Antonio was without both of its primary center options. He has now played a total of nine minutes in the past three games, and can be clearly ignored in just about every fantasy format.
