The door isn't completely shut on Kelly Olynyk's time with the Celtics

The C's have reportedly extended a qualifying offer to Olynyk, according to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, making the 26-year-old a restricted free agent.

As a restricted free agent, the Celtics can match any offer for Olynyk. They can also rescind the offer at any time as long as Olynyk doesn't accept the offer first.

Until the C's renounce his rights, he counts for $7.7 million against the cap. 

Olynyk, 26, averaged nine points and 4.8 rebounds last season, and had a memorable 10-for-14 shooting performance off the bench when he scored 26 points in the second-round series clincher over Washington at TD Garden.
