The addition of Olynyk comes after the Spurs already signed Luke Kornet.

While Olynyk does not put up big numbers, he is an extremely reliable veteran who has spent 11 seasons in the NBA.

He finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists per contest while shooting 50.0% from the field and 41.8% from the three-point range in 44 games for the New Orleans Pelicans and Toronto Raptors.

The Spurs will be among the most intriguing teams heading into the 2025-26 season.

They have a very talented roster led by Dylan Harper, Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle.
