BOSTON — The Celtics will be shorthanded for the third straight game as Jrue Holiday continues to sit because of his right hamstring strain. He was listed as out on the injury report released ahead of Game 5, set for 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at TD Garden.
Holiday last played in Game 2 of the first-round series, seeing 36 minutes in the victory. That’s when he hurt his hamstring as he hasn’t played since. He was originally questionable ahead of Game 3 in Orlando before being downgraded to out. Ahead of both Game 4 and 5, Holiday started as out on the injury report.
