Team USA ‘Aggressively Pursuing’ Celtics Guard for Paris Olympics

The Boston Celtics traded Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams, and two first-round picks to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this month in exchange for Jrue Holiday.

Team USA is "aggressively pursuing" Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday for the 2024 Olympics, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

Holiday won a gold medal with Team USA in the 2020 Olympics, which took place in Tokyo, Japan.

The 33-year-old guard spent the last three NBA seasons as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise and averaged 19.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game in 67 games played with the team during the 2022-23 regular season. Holiday also shot 47.9 percent from the field and 38.4 percent from behind the three-point arc.

The two-time All-Star is widely regarded as one of the NBA's best perimeter defenders, seeing as how he earned a spot on the All-Defensive First Team a season ago.
