Reconditioning for return
Olynyk (back), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat, is ramping up his conditioning for a return to game action, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. There is no clear timetable for Olynyk's return, and he has yet to make his season debut. However, the veteran big man will work toward regaining his conditioning in practice as the club prepares to slowly work him back from a back strain.
Debut will not come Sunday
Olynyk (back) will not play in Sunday's game versus the Heat, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports. Olynyk has been working to return from a back strain and make his season debut. He had only taken part in non-contact drills as of Nov. 22, and it remains unclear what he has been able to do since. His next opportunity to return will come Tuesday in a matchup with the Pacers.
Taking part in non-contact work
Olynyk (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Olynyk took part only in non-contact drills, and while he seems to be improving as he ramps up from a back strain, he'll still have another checkpoint to clear in his recovery before his season debut can be viewed as imminent. The big man appears unlikely to be available at any point during the Raptors' four-game road trip that begins Sunday in Cleveland and wraps up next Friday in Miami, but barring any setbacks, he could be ready to play in early December. The Raptors are expected to get by with Bruno Fernando (ankle) and Jonathan Mogbo as their primary backup options at center behind starter Jakob Poeltl while Olynyk is on the mend.
Still sidelined
Olynyk (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers and remains out indefinitely, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Olynyk has yet to make his regular-season debut due to a back strain. Coach Darko Rajakovic said at the beginning of November that Olynyk was still a few weeks away, but there hasn't been an update since. In Olynyk's absence, Jonathan Mogbo and Chris Boucher have seen increased roles to start the campaign.
Out a few more weeks
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Friday that Olynyk (back) is a few weeks away from returning, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. Olynyk has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a back strain. The veteran forward will remain sidelined for a few more weeks, with mid-November being the earliest he is expected to suit up. In Olynyk's absence, Jonathan Mogbo, Bruno Fernando and Chris Boucher should all continue to receive increased playing time.
Ruled out for Friday
Olynyk (back) will miss Friday's contest against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Olynyk will miss another game, his sixth consecutive to begin the season. The Raptors will be very shorthanded heading into Friday's game, as they are also without Scottie Barnes (orbital), Bruce Brown (knee) and potentially Immanuel Quickley (pelvis). With Olynyk out, Jonathan Mogbo and Bruno Fernando will likely continue to back up Jakob Poeltl until he returns.
Remains out
Olynyk (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Olynyk has yet to make his season debut and will miss a fifth straight game. He doesn't have a return timetable, but his next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Lakers.
Won't go Monday
Olynyk (back) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Nuggets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Olynyk will miss his fourth consecutive game and has yet to debut this season. The big man's next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Hornets.
Another absence coming
Olynyk (back) is out for Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Olynyk's absence streak will extend to three games Saturday while dealing with a back injury. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Denver.
