Kelly Olynyk spent the 2024-25 season playing for the Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans.

He finished the year 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.

Over the offseason, Olynyk was traded to the Washington Wizards.

That said, ESPN's Shams Charania reports that the Wizards will now trade him to the San Antonio Spurs.

Via Charania: "The Washington Wizards are trading Kelly Olynyk to the San Antonio Spurs for Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick (least favorable of Dallas, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City), sources tell ESPN."
