KAMLOOPS — If Canada qualifies for this summers Olympic basketball tournament, it will be without Kelly Olynyk.

The Boston Celtics 7-foot power forward underwent shoulder surgery yesterday, which is expected to sideline him for five months.

Canada needs to win a qualifying tournament in early July in order to get into the Olympics for the first time since 2000.
