In anticipation of the Eastern Conference semifinal series opener against the Knicks, the Boston Celtics received good news on the injury front. Guard Jrue Holiday is set to make his return from a strained right hamstring, providing a significant boost to the team's lineup. Holiday had been sidelined for the final three games of the first-round series against Orlando, but now he looks to be back at full strength for the upcoming matchup. With Holiday's defensive prowess and offensive facilitation, the Celtics will hope to capitalize on his skill set in the crucial playoff series.
Furthermore, the Celtics can breathe a sigh of relief as star player Jaylen Brown is also not listed on the injury report. Brown, who had been battling a right knee injury, will be available for the upcoming games. With both Holiday and Brown in the lineup, Boston will have a strong and healthy roster as they gear up to face off against a tough opponent in the Knicks. The Celtics will look to utilize their depth and talent to secure a win in Game 1 and set the tone for the series ahead.
