Luke Kornet News: Plays well off bench

Published on October 11, 2025

Kornet finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 18 minutes of Friday's 134-130 preseason win over the Jazz.

With Kelly Olynyk (heel) still sidelined, Kornet may have run away with the backup center job with a strong showing in the preseason. Additionally, Kornet has shown that he can thrive alongside Victor Wembanyama in certain situations as well.
