WASHINGTON, D.C. – Kelly Olynyk said he’s set to return to the Celtics tonight when they face the Washington Wizards. Hopefully he’s bringing the team’s defense with him.
Olynyk isn’t always the most loquacious player when talking to the media, and when asked if he was playing tonight while tying his sneakers, he glanced up and retorted, “That’s the plan.”
Pressed on whether anything could interfere with those expectations, he joked, “if Coach Stevens doesn’t put me in the game.”
For his part, Stevens told reporters that he didn’t have any updates on Olynyk before the team took the floor for shootaround at the new John Thompson Jr.
