Toronto native Kelly Olynyk has exercised his $13.6-million player option to remain with the Miami Heat for the 2020-21 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Olynyk’s Heat are fresh off a run to the NBA Finals, where they fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games. The Canadian suited up for 17 games over the course of the post-season run, averaging 7.6 points and 4.6 rebounds.
Through 67 regular-season games in 2019-20, the 29-year-old averaged 8.2 points and 4.6 rebounds, and shot a career-high 40.6 per cent from beyond the arc.
