Two-time NBA All-Star Jrue Holiday is facing a setback as he battles a “dead arm” while recovering from a shoulder sprain. The Boston Celtics have been without Holiday for their last four games, and his return to the court remains uncertain.
Holiday expressed his desire to continue playing despite feeling discomfort in his arm. The Celtics, who currently hold a significant lead in the Eastern Conference standings, are likely to prioritize Holiday’s health and proceed with caution.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla provided an update on Holiday’s condition, stating that the guard is improving and in good shape. Holiday sustained the injury during a game against the Washington Wizards when he collided with a screen, resulting in a jammed shoulder and arm.
The Celtics are gearing up for the postseason with high expectations, and having a healthy Holiday will be crucial for their success. Holiday’s contributions on both ends of the court will be vital for the team, especially given their strong defensive performance this season.
Despite the setback, Holiday has been averaging 12.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season. Celtics fans will be eagerly awaiting his return as the team looks to make a deep playoff run.
