The Toronto Raptors have agreed to terms with center Kelly Olynyk. The Canadian will therefore be with the Toronto team for the next two seasons and the agreement will earn him a total of $26.25 million.
The Raptors acquired Olynyk on February 8 in a trade sending Kira Lewis, Otto Porter Jr. and a first-round pick in 2024. Toronto also acquired Ochai Agbaji in the trade.
Aged 32, Olynyk has recorded just over eight points per game this season.
“We have been fans of Kelly’s play for a long time and are excited that he will continue his career in Toronto,” Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said in a statement. In addition to his unique skillset and ability to stretch the field, Kelly is a leader and brings a veteran voice to our locker room. »
He also played for the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons during his career.
He was the captain of the Canadian team that won the bronze medal last fall at the FIBA World Cup. He is part of the core group of players who have already indicated they will represent the country at the Paris Olympics in July.
