Olynyk closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 13 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago. Olynyk has played in four straight games after missing the first month and a half of the season due to a back injury. However, he didn't surpass 15 minutes in any of those contests. If Jakob Poeltl (groin) is forced to miss time after leaving Monday's loss to the Bulls early, Olynyk may be thrust into an expanded role, but his current conditioning levels may not allow him to play more than 20 minutes.

Minor role continues
Olynyk closed with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 13 minutes during Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago. Olynyk has played in four straight games after missing the first month and a half of the season due to a back injury. However, he didn't surpass 15 minutes in any of those contests. If Jakob Poeltl (groin) is forced to miss time after leaving Monday's loss to the Bulls early, Olynyk may be thrust into an expanded role, but his current conditioning levels may not allow him to play more than 20 minutes.
Scores 13 points in season debut
Olynyk (back) amassed 13 points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 14 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 loss to the Mavericks. Olynyk made his 2024-25 debut Saturday after missing the first 23 games due to a strained back. He played just 14 minutes in the contest while operating as a strict backup at center to Jakob Poeltl, who logged the other 34 minutes. That being said, Olynyk made the most of his limited playing time, and his deft touch beyond the arc could lead to him receiving playing time at power forward alongside Poeltl once he's further removed from the back injury.
Making regular-season debut
Olynyk (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. Olynyk will make his 2024-25 regular-season debut Saturday after being sidelined due to a back strain he suffered in mid-October. Olynyk was traded by the Jazz to the Raptors during the 2023-24 campaign, and across 28 games (including 19 starts) for Toronto, he averaged 12.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 26.4 minutes per game. Olynyk is unlikely to see much playing time Saturday, but he gives the Raptors another big man option off the bench behind starting center Jakob Poeltl.
Upgraded to iffy for Saturday
Olynyk (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Dallas, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Olynyk has yet to suit up this season while recovering from a back strain, though he has been ramping up his conditioning for a potential return to game action. The big man averaged 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 22.6 minutes per contest over 78 regular-season games with Toronto and Utah in the 2023-24 campaign.
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.
