Olynyk confirmed to reporters Tuesday that he does have an injured wrist but also mentioned that it is a very minor injury, CSNNE reports.

Analysis:

Olynyk downplayed any concerns about his wrist to reporters. He was seen without a brace on his wrist and was very welcoming to high-fives from kids at a youth camp he was attending. Olynyk left Team Canada after they failed to qualify for the FIBA World Championships as a precaution in order to make sure the injury did not become any more serious. Olynyk is part of the Celtics' plans to rebuild into a powerhouse in the next few years, so they are happy to see him treating this injury with caution. The big man played 20 minutes per game last year, averaging 8.7 points and 5.2 boards per game, showing the Celtics that he can be part of their long-term plans going forward.
