Though sitting 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference, the season hasn’t exactly gone according to the Celtics’ plan. With inconsistencies haunting them at every turn, the only bright spot for head coach Joe Mazzulla seemed to be their defense. And standing strong in that role was the veteran Jrue Holiday. But when Holiday was sidelined with an injury, things started looking a little dicey for both the team and its fans. However, there’s a silver lining as recent updates on the guard could bring some much-needed hope to the Celtics’ camp.
Insider Bobby Manning has shared some exciting updates, revealing that both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis are back on the practice floor. While there hasn’t been any confirmation yet about Porzingis’ availability on Wednesday, the insider hinted that there’s a strong possibility we could see Holiday back in action for the upcoming game against the Trail Blazers. If that’s the case, it would be a huge boost for the Celtics, who have been relying on his skills. Isn’t that great news?
Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis went through practice today and there’s a chance Holiday returns for #Celtics #Blazers tomorrow.

Holiday had been sidelined for the past two games because of a right-hand mallet finger injury, which caused the tip of his finger to droop. During his absence, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard shared the backcourt duties. But if the 34-year-old returns, they might have to step back to the bench.
