Celtics' Kelly Olynyk: Needs surgery on shoulder

Olynyk (shoulder) acknowledged he'll need offseason surgery, but he may put it off until after the Summer Olympics, CSN New England's A. Sherrod Blakely reports.

Analysis:

The surgery is expected to require about five months of recovery time, which means it could threaten Olynyk's availability for the start of the 2016-17 season, even if he has the procedure as soon as possible. He'll likely make a decision within the next week or two, as the Canadian national team will need to reassess its frontcourt if Olynyk isn't available.
