Kornet agreed to a four-year, $41 million contract with the Spurs on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs needed to bolster their frontcourt depth, and Kornet will likely operate as the backup center behind Victor Wembanyama. Kornet, an eight-year veteran, averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 73 regular-season outings with the Celtics in 2024-25.

Kornet chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet drew the start in place of Kristaps Porzingis, who has been battling an illness for quite a while. Unlike his heroic Game 5, however, Kornet wasn't able to produce an encore performance in the blowout loss. Kornet, who is set to become a free agent, should draw considerable interest this offseason. During the regular season, Kornet appeared in 73 games and averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.6 minutes.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Game 6 against the Knicks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet was outstanding for Boston in the Game 5 win while finishing with 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal in 26 minutes. Given all the struggles Kristaps Porzingis has endured in the series, starting Kornet after he delivered such an impressive stat line in Game 5 makes sense for the Celtics. They'll ride the hot hand for this do-or-die game.

Kornet closed Wednesday's 127-102 victory over New York in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal in 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet started the second half since Kristaps Porzingis is still dealing with an illness, and he ended up dazzling while also sniffing a triple-double -- he finished just one rebound and three blocks from doing so. Don't be surprised if Kornet receives a bigger role in the rest of the series against New York, and that should translate directly into a marked increase of his fantasy upside.

Kornet chipped in 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

With Kristaps Porzingis battling through an illness, Boston turned to Kornet for extended action, and Kornet delivered. The 29-year-old swatted a career-high seven shots -- he had five in the third quarter alone -- and fell one rebound shy of a double-double. It's unclear how healthy Porzingis will be for Friday's Game 6, but Kornet may have done enough to earn more minutes after combining for 18 minutes in his previous two appearances.

Kornet posted six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet played a handful of extra minutes with Kristaps Porzingis continuing to struggle with an illness. The issue has been bothering Porzingis for more than a month now, meaning Kornet is going to have to stay ready. Both he and Al Horford will need to play better if the Celtics are to turn the series around, starting with Game 3 in New York on Saturday.

Kornet had nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 win over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet had a minimal role prior to Tuesday, but with Kristaps Porzingis picking up a few fouls and the Celtics running away with this game early, Kornet capitalized on some garbage time. Through five postseason games, Kornet is averaging 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 16.4 minutes. He's unlikely to see a spike in playing time as long as Porzingis and Al Horford are healthy.

Kornet will come off the bench during Sunday's Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round Game 1 matchup against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet started four of the last seven regular-season games for Boston, averaging 13.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 67.6 percent from the field. However, he'll revert back to the second unit for Game 1 against Orlando.

Kornet closed with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet did a little bit of everything in the starting lineup in Sunday's regular-season finale, leading all Celtics in blocks while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of four players with a double-digit scoring mark. Kornet has tallied four or more blocks in three outings this season, posting at least 10 points and eight boards on six occasions.

Kornet is in Boston's starting lineup against Charlotte on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kornet will make his 16th start of the season Sunday due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (knee) both sidelined. Kornet has started in three of the Celtics' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 20.7 minutes per game.
