Kelly Olynyk Latest News
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.
Won't suit up Friday
Olynyk (back) is out for Friday's game versus the 76ers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Olynyk will miss his second straight contest to start the regular season Friday while dealing with back stiffness. Chris Boucher should continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Olynyk's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.
Sits out practice
Olynyk (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. Olynyk missed Toronto's regular-season opener Wednesday due to back stiffness. The veteran big man's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with Philadelphia.
Won't play Wednesday
Olynyk (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Cavaliers. Olynyk continues to battle back stiffness, which sidelined him for Toronto's final three preseason games. With the veteran sidelined, Chris Boucher should see more minutes as the backup center behind Jakob Poeltl.
Misses practice Tuesday
Olynyk (back) was unable to practice Tuesday, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports. Olynyk missed Toronto's final three preseason games, and it sounds like he's doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Cavaliers. With Olynyk likely to be sidelined, it's possible Chris Boucher (knee) will get some reps as the backup center behind Jakob Poeltl.
