Kelly Olynyk is heading to the San Antonio Spurs, marking another chapter in his career as he joins his fourth team in just three seasons. The Washington Wizards traded him in exchange for promising young players Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley, along with a second-round draft pick. Olynyk, who averaged 8.7 points and 4.7 rebounds last season, will bring his shooting prowess, including a career-high 41.8% from beyond the arc, to bolster the Spurs’ frontcourt alongside Victor Wembanyama and Luke Kornet.

Olynyk's journey has been tumultuous, with brief stints at various franchises since being drafted 13th overall by the Boston Celtics in 2013. The Spurs are banking on his experience and versatility as they strive for their first playoff appearance in seven seasons. Meanwhile, the Wizards are focusing on rebuilding, welcoming Branham and Wesley into their roster as they look to develop young talent.
