BOSTON — The Celtics were without Jrue Holiday as they closed out their first-round series against the Orlando Magic. Holiday missed the final three games of the playoffs with a right hamstring strain after excelling in Games 1 and 2.
He travelled with the team to Orlando and was questionable ahead of Game 3, but was ruled out of Games 4 and 5 a day in advance.
Joe Mazzulla was asked about Holiday’s status in his weekly radio appearance on 98.5 on Zolak and Bertrand on Wednesday, and he shared that the two-time All-Star is improving.
