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.
ANALYSISOlynyk 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.
