Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is no longer on the team’s injury list and is set to play Monday night against the New York Knicks in the series opener of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Holiday missed the final three games of the five-game, first-round series against the Orlando Magic due to a right hamstring strain.
The Celtics announced Sunday that they have no injuries to report, which means star Jaylen Brown has also made progress from his lingering right knee injury.
Holiday, 34, played in the first two games against Orlando and averaged 10 points and 5.5 assists.
Holiday, a two-time All-Star, averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 62 regular-season games, but his importance runs deeper than the statistical line.
“What Jrue does for us, it’s elite,” Boston big man Al Horford told reporters. “The impact that he has on our team, you can’t measure it.”
