WALTHAM, Mass. – Avery Bradley has been experiencing a sense of déjà vu as he’s watched Kelly Olynyk progress through his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery.
Olynyk suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder in mid-February, and has been fighting to regain his strength and confidence ever since. It’s a situation that Bradley has been through multiples times, having undergone surgery on both of his shoulders at different points during his NBA career.
Now, as Olynyk nears his potential return, Bradley has taken it upon himself to become a mentor for his teammate, knowing that there are still obstacles that likely lie in Olynyk’s path to full recovery.
