A Sixers-Jrue Holiday reunion was not meant to be as the veteran guard will be traded to the rival Celtics.
The two-time All-Star is headed to Boston in exchange for big man Robert Williams III, point guard Malcolm Brogdon and a pair of first-round picks (Golden State’s in 2024, Celtics’ unprotected pick in 2029). ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to break the news.
