Celtics clear Kelly Olynyk for contact

Boston Celtics center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder surgery) has been cleared for contact, but still has no timetable for a return.

What It Means:

Even though Olynyk is still without a timetable, since he has been cleared for contact a return sometime in November seems likely. With the signing of Al Horford and Tyler Zeller still lurking, Boston won't rush Olynyk back. He was originally hurt in April's playoffs and he underwent a right shoulder arthroscopy in mid-May.

In 69 games last season, Olynyk ranked 72nd with a 2.7 nERD. He posted averages of 10 points and 4.1 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per game, with a .531 effective field goal percentage.
