Jrue Holiday made a pair of big-time plays in the Celtics’ 114-111 Game 3 win over the Pacers, but it wasn’t a certainty he would play Saturday.
The Celtics guard popped up on the injury report just hours before tip-off, being listed as questionable due to a non-COVID illness. He wasn’t able to participate in Boston’s pre-game shootaround and his status for Game 3 was in question until less than an hour before tip-off.
Even though his status designation for Game 3 was questionable, Holiday was certain he would play.
“Yeah, I didn’t feel too well,” Holiday told reporters.
