Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday received important injury updates for Game 5 of the Magic vs. Celtics series. The Boston Celtics will host the Orlando Magic in Game 5 of their playoff series on Tuesday night. Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday have been dealing with injuries, however. Are the Celtics stars playing in Game 5?

The Boston Celtics will play Game 1 against the New York Knicks on Monday. Heading into the game, many wondered about Jrue Holiday’s status for the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.

Sunday's update marks 1st time Holiday hasn’t been on the injury report since missing final 3 games vs. Magic in first round.

The 34-year-old guard hasn’t played since Game 2 of the Celtics’ five-game first-round series win over Orlando. Holiday’s defensive versatility could be especially valuable against the Knicks, as he’d be a likely option to draw the assignment of guarding New York star guard Jalen Brunson.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said guard Jrue Holiday remains day-to-day with a strained hamstring and gave no indication whether he would be available for Game 1 of the second-round playoff series on Monday against the New York Knicks.

“Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is the recipient of the Joe Dumars Trophy for winning the 2024-25 NBA Sportsmanship Award,” NBA Communications said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “This is the second NBA Sportsmanship Award for Holiday, who also earned the honor in the 2020-21 season with the Milwaukee Bucks.”

"Holiday will receive the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy for his efforts to drive economic empowerment through philanthropy and creative capital deployment. $100K to be donated to the Jrue and Lauren Social Impact Fund (JLH fund)," posted the official social media account of the NBA.
