Jrue Holiday has missed the top-seeded Celtics’ last three games due to a right shoulder sprain. The guard gave a discouraging update regarding his injury Friday.
Holiday told The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach that he’s experiencing “dead arm.”
“I’m feeling something, for sure,” Holiday told Himmelsbach.
Dead arm syndrome can be caused by repeated throwing motions, an injury that pitchers in baseball sometimes experience. The injury can be characterized by symptoms such as arm fatigue, inability to throw with force, and numbness, according to HealthLine.
Holiday suffered his shoulder sprain versus the Washington Wizards last Sunday.
