Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Holiday took a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set versus Miami on Monday after playing 34 minutes during Sunday's loss in Cleveland.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Holiday has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat due to left knee tendinopathy, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Holiday played 34 minutes during Sunday's loss in Cleveland and will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set, marking only his second absence of the season. Holiday's absence Monday may be merely precautionary, but he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser are candidates for increased roles, especially if Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaylen Brown (illness) and Derrick White (foot) are downgraded from questionable to out.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Posts a dud in loss
Rotowire
Holiday totaled four points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-111 loss to the Cavaliers.
Holiday, who played through right adductor soreness, appeared a step slow in the loss. Before his thigh issue, Holiday battled left knee soreness in recent outings. He could certainly use some luck in the injury department, and perhaps that is contributing to his slow start to the campaign -- he's averaging just 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 three-pointers through 19 regular-season games.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday (thigh) is available for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
For now, Holiday will not miss a game after dealing with right adductor tightness. The veteran guard should be able to handle his normal workload, especially with Derrick White (foot) sidelined. In his last five outings since returning from a one-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy, Holiday has averaged 10.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 31.8 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Holiday is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right adductor tightness, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
The Celtics will have several players questionable for this marquee matchup Sunday, and the potential absence of Holiday would be significant considering that Derrick White (foot) is questionable as well. Payton Pritchard would probably enter the starting lineup if Holiday is unable to suit up Sunday.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Held to five points
Rotowire
Holiday ended with five points (2-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 126-94 victory over the Clippers.
Holiday was held to single-digit points for the second game in a row, and he's been ice-cold from the perimeter. In his last two outings, he's shooting a combined 2-of-14 from beyond the arc. His usage rate has been very low this season, and now he'll have to compete for touches with a healthy Kristaps Porzingis as well.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Good to go for Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday (knee) will play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Holiday missed his first game of the season Saturday against the Raptors due to left knee tendinopathy, though the absence was believed to be a precaution. Holiday has had a slow start to the campaign, averaging 12.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Holiday (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday is dealing with left knee tendinopathy, and the injury will cause him to miss a game for the first time this season. Payton Pritchard, who has been excellent off the bench in 2024-25, could move into a starting role Saturday, while Holiday's next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Holiday (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Holiday is dealing with left knee tendinopathy and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the veteran point guard is unable to suit up, Payton Pritchard will likely see an increased role.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Modest performance Tuesday
Rotowire
Holiday amassed eight points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 loss to the Hawks.
Holiday delivered a passive eight points, continuing what has been a modest start to the season. Now firmly in the veteran class, Holiday's real-life impact far outweighs his numbers. While he will still occasionally have an offensive outburst, his days of being a consistent scorer are behind him.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Tough night from downtown
Rotowire
Holiday supplied six points (3-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and eight assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 loss to the Warriors.
Holiday managed to pack the staff sheet, putting forth his most productive night on the glass and as a passer. However, he also turned in his worst shooting game from deep, failing to connect on a single attempt. Holiday wasn't alone in his struggles, as the Celtics ended the evening 19-for-54 (35.2 percent) from beyond the arc.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Cedes playing time to Pritchard
Rotowire
Holiday ended with eight points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 135-132 overtime loss to the Pacers.
Holiday didn't see the floor during the fourth quarter or overtime as head coach Joe Mazulla opted to go with Payton Pritchard alongside Derrick White in the backcourt. It's unclear if it was a matchup decision to have Pritchard playing over Holiday, but it's unlikely that the latter's spot in the Celtics' starting lineup is being threatened. Holiday will look to bounce back Friday against LaMelo Ball and the Hornets.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Drops efficient 21 points in win
Rotowire
Holiday accumulated 21 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 119-108 win over the Bucks.
The veteran point guard was efficient against his former squad while ending as the Celtics' third-highest scorer behind Jaylen Brown (30) and Payton Pritchard (28). Holiday played a limited role offensively in the club's previous two regular-season games, though he was sensational shooting the rock against the Bucks. The 34-year-old shot a combined 3-for-9 over the last two games, but at home this season he has shot a combined 14-for-21 with a total of 39 points in two contests.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Minimal role in victory
Rotowire
Holiday produced seven points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 victory over the Wizards.
Holiday logged just 23 minutes against Washington due to the game being out of hand by the end of the third quarter. While the Celtics won't rely on the veteran guard to be a volume scorer, his efficiency and defensive production make him a valuable fantasy asset.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Good to go for Opening Night
Rotowire
Holiday (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
As expected, Holiday will be good to go for the regular-season opener after resting during the preseason finale. The veteran guard took a step back statistically during his first season in Boston last year, but his steady contributions were a key reason why the Celtics hoisted banner 18.

Rotowire
Holiday (rest) is not in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Payton Pritchard will step into the starting five alongside Derrick White, leaving Holiday to come off the bench. With Tuesday being the club's last preseason game, it would come as a surprise if Holiday does not play at all, though it remains a possibility that he gets the day off.
