TORONTO — Kelly Olynyk will miss about a week of the Canadian men’s basketball camp with a bruised knee.

The Miami Heat centre slipped and fell hard on the knee in Wednesday’s 96-87 exhibition win over Nigeria at Mattamy Athletic Centre.

Meanwhile, Raptors forward Chris Boucher has withdrawn from the pre-World Cup camp citing personal reasons.

The Canadians host Nigeria on Friday in Winnipeg before flying to Australia for a five-game exhibition series against the Aussies, New Zealand and the United States.
