Ridiculous Luke Kornet stat proves the Spurs front office struck gold once again The San Antonio Spurs' signing of Luke Kornet has been a home run with one stat showing his true impact.

FEBRUARY 12 • AIRALAMO.COM

Officially available Kornet (ankle/adductor) is available for Saturday's game against Dallas, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Previous reports indicated Kornet would be able to return from a one-game absence to face the Mavericks, and his availability has now been confirmed. The 30-year-old center is averaging 5.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks across 19.9 minutes in his last 11 appearances -- all off the bench.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Looking good for Saturday Kornet (ankle/adductor) is "looking good" to return Saturday against the Mavericks, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kornet was unable to play against the Mavericks on Thursday due to left ankle soreness and left adductor tightness, but head coach Mitch Johnson expressed optimism that the veteran big man would be available for Saturday's rematch. Kornet has served as the main backup to Victor Wembanyama this season, but the former's absence would likely lead to more minutes for Carter Bryant and Kelly Olynyk.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Dallas Kornet (ankle/adductor) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Kornet is in danger of missing a second consecutive contest due to left ankle soreness and left adductor tightness. If the big man isn't cleared to play, Victor Wembanyama and Carter Bryant would be candidates for a bump in minutes, while Kelly Olynyk could enter the rotation.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Kornet (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact After grabbing 15 boards in 15 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Thunder, Kornet will take a seat for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set. Carter Bryant should stick in the rotation Thursday, while Kornet is expected to be back in action Saturday during a rematch against Dallas.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.
