Canada got a major scare when starter Kelly Olynyk, of the Boston Celtics, went down in a heap clutching his left knee after getting run over by an opponent who had no desire to fight through the screen the Canadian was setting.
Olynyk limped off and went briefly to the back, but returned to the bench quickly, sitting out the rest of the game.
Canada Basketball did not have an update on his status immediately afterward.
This reportedly seems to be a minor injury, but I’d like to see some confirmation on this just because of the awkwardness of the angle in that collision. I just want to make sure there’s no tears or anything there that will linger into the season.
