KELLY OLYNYK NEWS

Pours in 18 efficient points Friday Olynyk had 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 130-116 win over the Lakers.

Impact Utah shot 50.5 percent from the field in the contest, and Olynyk was a big part of that, as he made all three of his three-point tries and went 7-for-10 from the field overall. The big man didn't hit a triple and combined for just 13 points over his previous two contests, so this was a strong bounce-back performance. Olynyk has been hard to figure out this season -- he's posted three performances of 20-plus points but has also scored eight points or less five times over 10 games.

Plays hero in OT win Olynyk logged 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 122-121 overtime victory over the Pelicans.

Impact A journeyman who has been through several ups and downs throughout his career, Olynyk was Utah's hero Sunday as he made the game-winning bucket with less than five seconds left in overtime. The veteran big man has scored at least 20 points in each of his last two outings and is a major reason why Utah is off to a surprising 3-0 start.

Efficient in win Friday Olynyk had 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 35 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 132-126 overtime win over Minneso...

Impact Olynyk got into foul trouble and played only 15 minutes in Utah's first game, but he was much more impactful despite again committing too many fouls Friday. The veteran center was one of three Jazz players to score over 20 points, and he he got there largely from deep, going 5-for-6 from beyond the arc. Olynyk also racked up four steals in the OT victory, falling just one theft shy of his career high.

Struggles with foul trouble Olynyk tallied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one assist in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Olynyk scored the ball well in his limited minutes, but his five fouls kept him from seeing more action. The veteran big man also had three turnovers. Overall, Olynyk should be a solid scoring option for the Jazz moving forward, as he will not have to match up with Denver's frontcourt every game.

Scores 12 points in start Olynyk posted 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 118-101 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Olynyk bounced back after going scoreless in the first preseason game. The veteran has huge shoes to fill, and life without Rudy Gobert will be an uphill battle for the Jazz. Olynyk won't be alone in trying to fill that hole, as Lauri Markkanen and Jarred Vanderbilt are quality frontcourt additions to help the cause.

Scoreless in preseason debut Olynyk went scoreless (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt) but ended up with six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 22 minutes in Sunday's 114-82 loss against the Raptors.

Impact This is certainly not the preseason debut Olynyk was hoping for, as he is expected to be one of the few veterans that will get regular playing time on a rebuilding Jazz team. Despite the subpar debut, Olynyk is expected to open the regular season as Utah's starting center.

Pistons acquiring Bojan Bogdanović from Utah Jazz in trade

The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send veteran forward Bojan Bogdanović to the Detroit Pistons for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022

Shipped to Utah in Bogdanovic deal Olynyk was traded to the Jazz from the Pistons on Thursday along with Saben Lee in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Utah continues to dismantle its core in the wake of dealing both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell earlier in the offseason. Bringing in Olynyk provides the Jazz with much-needed depth up front, and there's a reasonable chance that Olynyk could win the starting center job out of training camp. If that's the case, the Gonzaga product could be in for a significant bounceback season after mostly floundering in his lone year with the Pistons. Two seasons ago, Olynyk split time between Houston and Miami and posted a combined 13.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 made threes in 28.5 minutes per game (70 total games).
