Impact Olynyk has started in eight of the Pelicans' last nine games and has averaged 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 25.2 minutes per game over that span.

Fails to score in loss Olynyk provided zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 22 minutes during Saturday's 146-117 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Olynyk failed to score for the first time since arriving in New Orleans. Although he has been able to carve out a starting role for his new team, he typically plays no more than about 25 minutes on any given night. He is yet to play in both games of a back-to-back set for the Pelicans meaning there is a chance he sits out against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Off injury report Friday Olynyk (rest) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Olynyk is set to return to game action after sitting out of the first leg of the club's back-to-back set. The veteran big man has started in all three appearances with New Orleans, averaging 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 23.7 minutes per game.

Ruled out for Thursday Olynyk (rest) will not play Thursday against the Suns.

First double-double with NOLA Olynyk had 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-96 victory over San Antonio.

Impact The double-double was Olynyk's first of the season, while the 15 boards were his highest single-game total since April 2, 2023. The veteran big has seen a larger workload so far with the Pelicans that he had been getting with the Raptors, averaging 24.5 minutes in his first two starts for his new club, but with rookies centers Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic both getting regular run right now, Olynyk's ceiling would seem to be capped.
