Orthodics can fix this real quick at least it did for me and achilles tendon stretching.

don't worry. Probably from the time KO decided to reshirt till now has been working out/playing basketball non stop.  And that is a long time without taking some real rest. 

He is young and i expect will fully recover. He just needs to take a vacation to the cayman islands for a week, then comeback and mix cycling/swimming more vs working out on his feet/running.

According to Toronto Raptors radio broadcaster Eric Smith, Olynyk won't play for the Canadian national team this summer because of plantar fasciitis. The condition, common among athletes, causes pain in the sole of a foot and generally requires rest to heal. Without proper rest, some cases of plantar fasciitis can last months.

"He’s so keen about wanting to play, but the Celtics had some concerns," Canadian national team head coach Jay Triano told the Toronto Star.

I saw a headline that said Olynyk unable to play for SMNT. Wondered if he was suddenly a Senoir Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, but not a single mention from any of you about the masterpiece I created above?!?!  Sigh, sometimes I seriously don't get this board...
