Celtics' Kelly Olynyk: Still deciding on shoulder

Olynyk is still deciding whether or not he'll require offseason surgery on his right shoulder, Scott Souza of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

Olynyk was limited to just 32 total minutes in the Celtics' first-round series against the Hawks due to the shoulder injury, which he re-aggravated during Game 1. While he played in each of the final three games of the series, he was clearly hampered and was held scoreless in each contest. The specifics of Olynyk's injury are still somewhat unclear, but GM Danny Ainge confirmed Wednesday that surgery may be an option. Regardless, the 25-year-old figures to be available by the time training camp rolls around in the fall.
