As the Celtics prepare for a tough matchup at home Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets, Jrue Holiday is gearing up to face off against a familiar face: his brother.
Justin Holiday, the Boston guard’s older brother, signed a one-year deal with the Nuggets in July. This game marks the first time the brothers have gone head-to-head since being traded to their respective teams in the offseason.
“I think being able to play against my brothers and being able to see that they get to do what they love is a blessing because not a lot of guys get to do that,” Jrue Holiday said after the Celtics’ 117-98 victory over the Spurs Wednesday night.
