Though Holiday dealt with lingering injuries throughout the regular season, his reputation as a known winner and top defender should interest several contending teams if the Celtics do look to move him, according to league sources.

It doesn’t appear that Jrue Holiday’s middling offensive regular season was the result of saving something for the playoffs. – 8:49 PM

Thibs on #Celtics minus Tatum: “When you look at the guys that the have … a Jrue Holiday, Al Horford … Pritchard, what White can do. This is a very talented team. They shoot threes, they play great defense … they’re tough.” – 5:40 PM

Sam Amick: It’s funny because, with all due respect to my friend and former colleague at The Athletic, Shams Charania, you know, ESPN had kind of framed the latest Giannis story as: “For the first time, Giannis was open-minded about leaving the Bucks.” And I just — I definitely don’t agree with that characterization. Every single time he’s had a supermax extension on the table, or even the discussion around it, he’s kind of made the Bucks work for it — whether it’s just delaying the choice or actually signaling that he wants them to make roster changes. Then they had the Damian Lillard trade. Before that, it was Jrue Holiday. The thing now is, he’s older, and the struggles are greater. You’re talking about three first-round exits, two in a row to the Pacers — getting swept. It’s a tough look. -via YouTube / May 15, 2025
Gary Washburn: Without Jayson Tatum, #Celtics roll to a 127-102 win over #Knicks and are money for those who bet the BOS (-4.5) line. Derrick White 34, Jaylen Brown 26, Payton Pritchard 17, Jrue Holiday 14, Al Horford 12, Luke Kornet 10, 9 reb, 7 blk; Karl-Anthony Towns 24, Jalen Brunson 22, Mikal Bridges 19, Miles McBride 11. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / May 14, 2025
