Kelly Olynyk on Raptors: I would love to be here for the rest of my career
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kelly Olynyk isn’t in Toronto because he’s Canadian. He (and others) is in Toronto because he is happy to be in Toronto, and can help.

Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji check off a few important boxes for the Raptors. Among them, and not to be overlooked, is that both players seem genuinely excited for a new opportunity in Toronto: tsn.ca/nba/lewenberg-… pic.twitter.com/Zwf5LTSXmy – 11:17 PM

Raptors have won 2 games in a row for the 1st time in more than a month. They’ll have a shot at their 1st 3-gm win streak of the season tomorrow. All they have to do is beat the NBA’s hottest team (Cavs, who have won 16 of 17) on 2nd night of a b2b. They should have Olynyk/Agbaji – 10:02 PM

The old timey Rockets (Jeff Green and Reggie Bullock) won’t let them go down easy.
Immanuel Quickley has been outstanding for the Raptors, Barrett and Poeltl solid. Barnes can’t hit a shot but is doing everything else. “Jack of all trades” is what Kelly Olynyk called him. – 9:35 PM

Kelly Olynyk literally grew up with the Raptors. His mom was a scorekeeper for 10 years for them, his dad was a guest coach under Lenny Wilkens one year. He’s ecstatic to be home and a Raptor: torontosun.com/sports/basketb… pic.twitter.com/aUXehBWpgG – 8:50 PM

I asked Kelly Olynyk about reuniting with RJ Barrett: “It’s crazy. I don’t know what are the chances of that are, that we both get traded to the same team, but it’s fun.
I play with RJ for a month every summer, but now I get to do it full-time … 1/2 – 7:10 PM

“Whassup, whassup.” – Kelly Olynyk, very happy.
“Toronto kind of came out of nowhere. … It heated up and it was very exciting.” – 6:24 PM

Olynyk and Agbaji are available to play but it’s not expected that they’ll see the floor for Raptors tonight. Trade, travel, first of a back to back, it’s all adding up to a night to catch breath, watch the new team and play Saturday – 6:02 PM

Olynyk and Agbaji are available but not expected to play tonight because of heavy travel and back to back.
Darko said as of now, Scottie is the backup point guard. – 6:00 PM

Looks like the Raptors’ trade acquisitions made it in plenty of time and Toronto’s own Kelly Olynyk is happy to be here. pic.twitter.com/siOwsL4Anw – 5:22 PM

Sounds like Olynyk and Agbaji are arriving in Toronto mid-afternoon. Presumably could be available tonight (pending physicals) but more likely tomorrow vs. Cavs. – 1:10 PM

Josh Lewenberg: Newest Raptor and Toronto’s own Kelly Olynyk: “It’s a full circle moment. It’s really cool to look back at how monumental the Raptors have been in my life… To be putting on this jersey and these shirts and hats and stuff, it’s something that you can’t put into words” -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 9, 2024
Josh Lewenberg: Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji have cleared medical and will both be available for the Raptors tonight. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 9, 2024
Josh Lewenberg: Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji will be introduced to the Toronto media before tonight’s game vs Houston. Still TBD on whether or not they’ll be able to play, but the Raptors are hopeful (depends when they clear medical). If not tonight, they’ll be available vs Cleveland tomorrow. -via Twitter @JLew1050 / February 9, 2024
