Kelly Olynyk will not be making his return to the Celtics' bench when the Celtics take on the Rockets tonight at the TD Garden.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to those following Olynyk's health this week, as he just did not seem overly optimistic about a return to action when asked about his shoulder earlier this week.
Kelly Olynyk does not sound like a player ready to return to game action. Asked how he’s feeling he says, "Same story, different day."

Olynyk says he's still slowed by his shoulder and can't do the physical work needed to defend in post. "Shot is all right."

With the team winning 7 of 10 in his absence, there doesn't seem to be a reason to rush Olynyk back if he's not yet feeling 100%. Hopefully another weekend of treatment gets the 7 foot sniper back in action next week.
