Cleared to play Holiday (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Holiday continues to play through an elbow issue. He's appeared in four straight games, averaging 12.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 32.5 minutes per game during that stretch.

Continues dealing with elbow sprain Holiday is questionable to play Wednesday against Minnesota due to a right elbow sprain.

Impact Holiday initially suffered the sprain at the end of December, but he has only missed one contest despite being consistently featured on the injury report. He'll enter Wednesday coming off a day of rest following a 38-minute workload in Monday's loss Indiana, which likely puts Holiday on track to be available.

All-around outing not enough Holiday supplied 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 133-131 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Holiday scored his most points since Dec. 20 and posted at least six assists and six rebounds in the same game for the ninth time this season. It was a solid bounce-back performance for the point guard, who averaged just 9.7 points over his previous three appearances. The move to Boston has significantly impacted Holiday's production in numerous categories, but he is averaging a career-high 6.5 rebounds per game.

Removed from injury report Holiday (elbow) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Boston's entire injury report is clean ahead of Tuesday's contest. Holiday missed Sunday's game against the Spurs, but several reports indicated that his absence was precautionary. With Holiday back in action, Al Horford will likely shift back to the bench.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his first game since Nov. 26. He's the only player on Boston's injury report, so Derrick White should slide over to point guard, while Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis handle slightly increased usage in Holiday's absence. Holiday's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

Questionable to play Sunday Holiday is questionable to play Sunday against the Spurs due to a right elbow sprain.

Impact The Celtics could be at full strength Sunday to close out the calendar year against a struggling Spurs team, but Holiday will probably be a game-time call due to his elbow problem. If he can't go, Derrick White will likely start at point guard, while Al Horford would likely stay in the starting unit. Holiday is averaging 14.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over his last 10 contests.

Good to go Friday Holiday (elbow) will play in Friday's game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Holiday's availability is a huge relief to Boston, as they will be without Jayson Tatum (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Horford (rest) on Friday. In addition to Holiday, Jaylen Brown was also given the green light to play after carrying a lower back contusion, and both players figure to see heavy usage against the Raptors.

Dealing with elbow sprain Holiday is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to a right elbow sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Holiday played 44 minutes during Thursday's overtime win over Detroit, but he emerged from the contest with an elbow issue. Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jaylen Brown (back) are also questionable, while Al Horford (rest) and Kristaps Porzingis (calf/rest) are not expected to suit up, leaving Boston's rotation in serious flux heading into Friday's showdown.

Jrue Holiday Discusses 'Finding My Place' with Celtics Jrue Holiday had 20 points, seven assists, and six rebounds in the Celtics’ 145-108 win over the Clippers.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Pops for 20 against Clippers Holiday racked up 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 145-108 victory over the Clippers.

Impact After going the entire campaign to date without scoring at least 20 points in a game, Holiday's now done it in back-to-back contests, a sign he could be getting more comfortable in the Celtics' scheme. The veteran point guard is averaging 13.8 points, 5.5 boards, 4.2 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.4 steals through 10 games in December, and for the season he's on pace for his worst scoring and assist rates in over a decade if those numbers don't pick up.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seven boards in loss Holiday closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 overtime road loss to the Warriors.

Impact Last night was a typical stat line for Holiday in his first season with the Celtics. Through 24 games this season, Holiday is averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 helpers and 6.6 boards per contest. Outside of the bump in rebounds and blocks, Holiday's numbers are down versus last season with Bucks. Expect that to continue. Boston's star-studded big three of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis are the focus of the offense. Holiday currently ranks fifth in shot attempts per game for Boston, just behind fellow guard Derrick White. The Celtics greatly value Holiday's defensive input, but don't expect his scoring to increase any time soon.

Tallies season-high three steals Holiday closed Tuesday's 120-113 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Holiday salvaged a quiet night by recording a season-high three steals. Although he has been a perfect addition to the Celtics, his production has taken a noticeable hit. He is currently the 71st-ranked player in nine-category leagues, averaging 12.4 points to go with 7.0 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.8 three-pointers. He remains a clear must-roster player, although managers are going to have to temper their rest-of-season expectations based on what we have seen thus far.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Offensive struggles continue Holiday closed with nine points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 122-112 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Over his last six appearances, Holiday has averaged 9.8 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 37 percent from the field and committing 3.0 turnovers per game. The point guard missed back-to-back games in the middle of that stretch due to an ankle sprain, so the injury may be playing a part in Holiday's offensive struggles. His offensive numbers were expected to take a hit playing next to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but it's been more drastic than initially anticipated. Holiday is averaging just 12.2 points per game, the fewest since his rookie season, and only 5.1 assists, the lowest mark since 2011-12.
