Canada just qualified for the last six Olympics (they finished seventh in 2000), but with an improved roster that includes Andrew Wiggins, Nik Stauskas, and six other NBA players, they are a team on the rise.
And one of those NBA Players is Celtics’ Kelly Olynyk, but he tweaked his knee against Argentina. Olynyk sat out the next game, however coach Jay Traiano said.
Jay Triano said today Kelly Olynyk will be fine for Olympic qualifying in Mexico. Just precautionary.

FIBA Americas will start this Aug. 31; Canada opens the next day against Argentina (which is without Manu Ginobili).
Meanwhile Boston is loaded at the four — Jared Sullinger, David Lee, Jordan Mickey, Jonas Jerebko, Amir Johnson and Jae Crowder — all can get some run at that slot.
