Spurs' Luke Kornet: Grabs eight boards in win
Luke Kornet totaled two points (1-3 FG), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's 111-109 victory over the Thunder.Kornet remained in the starting lineup despite the return of Victor Wembanyama, although the former's time in the opening five could very soon come to an end. While he has been an adequate replacement during Wembanyama's absence, it's only a matter of time before Kornet moves to a backup role, meaning his fantasy value will likely evaporate. He could be worth holding for one or two more games, assuming the San Antonio Spurs take a cautious approach with Wembanyama. Beyond that, Kornet should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming candidate.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Remains in starting lineup Saturday
Luke Kornet will start against the Thunder on Saturday.Although Victor Wembanyama is available to play following a 12-game absence due to a strained left calf, Kornet will get the starting nod at center. The big man has started in each of his last 11 appearances, averaging 6.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest during that span. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if he saw a dip in playing time with Wembanyama available.

Spurs' Luke Kornet: Won't play Friday
Luke Kornet (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.Kornet has been on a tear defensively, racking up 14 blocks and three steals over his last six games. He's drawn nine straight starts in Victor Wembanyama's (calf) absence, but with both big men sidelined, Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo are likely going to play bigger roles. Jeremy Sochan could also play some small-ball five. Kornet's injury is labeled as soreness, so it appears minor, and his next chance to suit up will come Monday in New Orleans.
