BOSTON - Kelly Olynyk may be getting some angry stares from the guys down the hall.
Not the visiting team - but the Boston Bruins.
Olynyk, who played through a badly bruised left eye, accidentally spilled the beans Wednesday night after the Celtics' 100-87 win over the Pacers:
Dougie Hamilton is dealing with broken ribs.
Hamilton hasn't played since Mar. 21, missing the last five games, but the Bruins keep their injury news top secret - so nobody knew exactly what the injury was aside from "upper-body".
While discussing his eye injury, the Canadian-born Olynyk joked that he couldn't miss Wednesday's game or he'd hear it from Hamilton, who had divulged the broken ribs information to him a couple days ago.
“I remember two days ago I was texting Dougie Hamilton and he told me he broke his ribs and he’s trying to come back before the playoffs," Olynyk said. "I was like, ‘Man I can’t sit out, he’s gonna rip me' . . . all those hockey guys would have killed me so I had to do it.”
Olynyk obviously didn't know the injury was a secret, and probably feels bad about it.
Perhaps those hockey players will kill him for an entirely different reason now.
