BOSTON — Jrue Holiday is making progress. How much progress is the injured Celtics guard making?
Joe Mazzulla was both on brand — optimistic and vague about Holiday’s right hamstring strain heading into Boston’s second-round series with the Knicks that begins Monday at TD Garden.
“He was able to work on everything he wanted to work on,” Mazzulla said. “He’s getting better every day.”
The 34-year-old guard hasn’t played since Game 2 of the Celtics’ five-game first-round series win over Orlando.
Holiday’s defensive versatility could be especially valuable against the Knicks, as he’d be a likely option to draw the assignment of guarding New York star guard Jalen Brunson.
