The Boston Celtics will play Game 1 against the New York Knicks on Monday. Heading into the game, many wondered about Jrue Holiday’s status for the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.

Jrue Holiday and the Boston Celtics are currently competing in ... playing behind a few stars such as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

As Game 4 between the Celtics and the Knicks approaches, Holiday and the Celtics are on the same page regarding what needs to be done.

The 34-year-old guard hasn’t played since Game 2 of the Celtics’ five-game first-round series win over Orlando. Holiday’s defensive versatility could be especially valuable against the Knicks, as he’d be a likely option to draw the assignment of guarding New York star guard Jalen Brunson.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said guard Jrue Holiday remains day-to-day with a strained hamstring and gave no indication whether he would be available for Game 1 of the second-round playoff series on Monday against the New York Knicks.

“Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is the recipient of the Joe Dumars Trophy for winning the 2024-25 NBA Sportsmanship Award,” NBA Communications said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “This is the second NBA Sportsmanship Award for Holiday, who also earned the honor in the 2020-21 season with the Milwaukee Bucks.”
