Game 5 loss to the Celtics in Boston on Wednesday night:   Jalen Brunson, C- Frustrated all night by Jaylen Brown, who put forth an inspired defensive effort

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.

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.

Sunday's update marks 1st time Holiday hasn’t been on the injury report since missing final 3 games vs. Magic in first round.

“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.”

"Holiday will receive the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy for his efforts to drive economic empowerment through philanthropy and creative capital deployment. $100K to be donated to the Jrue and Lauren Social Impact Fund (JLH fund)," posted the official social media account of the NBA.
