No bun intended: Kelly Olynyk's hairy situation

Related Topics: Kelly Olynyk, Headband

It's mid-November and only Kelly Olynyk's fourth game of the 2016-17 season after missing the start of the year while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery. Coming off two solid offensive outings, Olynyk can't get anything to fall. The Boston Celtics' floor-stretching 7-footer misses seven of the eight shots he puts up, including six 3-pointers, during Boston's head-shaking loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

An immediate fix is needed for this brief funk. So two days later, when the Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks, Olynyk ditches the manbun he had been sporting in favor of a headband for his shoulder-length locks.
