Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: 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.

Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: 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.

Raptors' Kelly Olynyk: 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.
