MIAMI — The Miami Heat announced Friday that they have signed forward Kelly Olynyk. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“As soon as Kelly Olynyk became an unrestricted free agent, we pursued him,” said Heat President Pat Riley. “He is not only a post player, he can also play away from the basket. What we like the most is that he is a playmaker, tough defender and rugged rebounder. At just 26 years old, he fits in perfect with our young core that will play together in their primes.”
Olynyk appeared in 75 games (six starts) with Boston last season and averaged 9.
