Perhaps accidentally, Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk caused Wizards All-Star John Wall to land hard in the first quarter of Game 2 between Boston and Washington on Tuesday.
Wall grimaced after landing on Olynyk and his wrist seemed to be in some pain.
Here's the play via SI's Ben Golliver:

Olynyk probably could've avoided Wall but he seems to have accidentally crashed into the Wizards star. However, since Olynyk has a history of accidentally injuring players, like when he caused Kevin Love to miss the rest of the postseason in 2015, Twitter was quite angry with the Celtics big man.

Despite Olynyk inadvertently causing Wall to fall, the Wizards All-Star remained in the game.
