Jrue Holiday's Injury Status For Celtics-Hawks Game
Jrue Holiday is on the injury report for Thursday's game.
UPDATE: Jrue Holiday is available.
On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics will be in Georgia to face off against the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena.
For the game, the Celtics could be without one of their best players, as 2021 NBA Champion Jrue Holiday is on the injury report.
Holiday has missed each of the previous five games, so this would be his sixth straight out of the starting lineup (if he doesn't play).
