Celtics' Jrue Holiday has moved out of the injury report before the Knicks series

The Boston Celtics will be full of strength before the team's second round against the New York Knicks.

Boston published a report on clean injuries before the team of the team against New York the following night – without the players in the Eastern Conference – semi -final.

In particular, the signal that the veteran Guard Jrue Holiday should return after missing the last three games of the first round in Boston against Orlando due to a tense thigh series.

The vacation seemed to be on the right track after Boston Orlando had removed in five games. The 34-year-old Point Guard took part in the Celtics exercises over the weekend.

“He could work on everything he wanted to work on,” said Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla on Saturday. “He gets better every day.”

A healthy vacation will be a welcome addition for Boston in front of a Matchup against New York.

Although the holiday at the Celtics did not have to serve as a primary evaluation threat, he had to score an average of 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals against the Knicks during the regular season – 66.7 percent from the field.

The greatest value of Holiday will probably come on the defensive side of the ball, since the six-time all-defensive wachmann will probably try to slow down with Derrick White in Boston's to slow down Jalen Brunson.

“You just can't do it with a man, right? It needs a team. You need different matchups. Different reporting is needed,” said Mazzulla on Saturday, slowing down Brunson. “But it has to give a level of physicality, a level of discipline, level of attention to detail of the tendencies. If you add up all points, there are a number of points where you can be disciplined and work.

“But at the same time. He is a great player and he will make pieces. So the edges are so important for me. If you bring yourself into a position in which you do not influence the margins at a high level, the players of his caliber, who can get to freedom, you can get freedom.

Together with the vacation, Jaylen Brown was also removed from Boston's injury report.

Brown had been classified as questionable for the last three games of the Orlando series due to a gnawing knee injury. But earning almost a week break seems to have done something good for Brown and the Celtics.

“For myself, I just try to move towards 100 percent,” said Brown about his knee on Saturday. “Physically to hold my floor and still play games for our team.

“Even if boys are outside – JRUE, JT, missed a game – to take on a role. I feel decent. Now it's a completely different ball game, another team, different challenges. My focus is on it.”
