Jazz's Kelly Olynyk: Available to play
Olynyk (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Olynyk missed the past two games for the Jazz, but he returned to full practice Thursday without any setbacks. His role was trending down prior to his injury, and that's despite the absence of Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) as well. Over his last four appearances, Olynyk has averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 18.8 minutes per game.

Over four appearances before his absence, Olynyk averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 18.8 minutes per game.
