WALTHAM – Kelly Olynyk is back…to full contact.
The ManBun was finally cleared for full contact, he announced at practice Saturday, after participating in some of the Celtics’ contact drills. Olynyk had been doing some limited and controlled contact drills earlier in the week, but is now taking the step to full practice.
“Doing a little contact, you know controlled stuff,” Olynyk said. “Just trying to ramp it up a little bit more everyday. Just trying to take a step in the right direction everyday.”
It’s been a long road back for Olynyk since his shoulder surgery in May.
