Luke Kornet News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Grabs 15 boards in loss Kornet chipped in four points (2-7 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Kornet recorded a team-high 15 rebounds, the most he has pulled down in any game this season. While the boards were a real positive, he was limited to just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played in his past five games. As long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, Kornet should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming consideration for anyone needing blocks and rebounds.

Good to go Sunday Kornet (adductor) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact After missing Thursday's win over Utah due to left adductor tightness, Kornet will shed his questionable tag and suit up Sunday. The big man has averaged 8.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 21.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Questionable to play Sunday Kornet (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Kornet did not play in the Spurs' win over the Jazz on Thursday due to left adductor tightness, but he has a chance to return for Sunday's home contest. Kelly Olynyk would be in line for more minutes off the bench behind Victor Wembanyama if Kornet is unable to play.

Listed out Thursday Kornet is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to left adductor tightness.

Impact The 30-year-old can be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans. The Spurs could rely more heavily upon Victor Wembanyama at center Thursday, and Kelly Olynyk now has an opportunity to enter the rotation as the top backup big man.

Questionable for Thursday Kornet is questionable for Thursday's game in Utah due to tightness in his left adductor, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact We'll have a better idea on Kornet's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up some minutes for Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo. Check back for another update on Kornet's status closer to Thursday's tip.

Settling back into backup role Kornet produced seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 123-110 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Even though Kornet's fantasy value is taking a hit with Victor Wembanyama back in the starting lineup, the former is hanging on to relevance in a reserve role. Over his last five contests, Kornet has averaged 7.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes per game.

Season-best performance Kornet ended with 23 points (10-12 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks across 31 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Kornet erupted for a season-high 23 points, while also matching his season-high with five blocked shots. Victor Wembanyama missed his second straight game due to a knee injury, affording Kornet starter-level minutes. It appears as though Wembanyama could return as soon as Tuesday, meaning Kornet's run of production could come to an end sooner rather than later. With that said, he is worth holding, at least until Wembanyama is back to playing starter-level minutes himself.

Kornet started in 17 regular-season games while Wembanyama was sidelined due to a calf injury, and over that span the former averaged 7.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.
