Celtics' Jrue Holiday gets important injury update for Raptors game

Holiday listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to a left ankle sprain.

Holiday suffered the injury in the Celtics' 116-110 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. He played through the pain and finished the game with 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.

However, Holiday's ankle was still bothering him on Monday, and he was limited in practice. The Celtics are hoping that he will be able to play on Tuesday, but they are also prepared to sit him out if he is not 100%.

Holiday is a key player for the Celtics

Holiday is one of the Celtics' most important players. He is a versatile guard who can play both point guard and shooting guard. He is also a good defender and rebounder.

In the Celtics' first two games of the season, Holiday has averaged 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. He has also shot 46.7% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range.

Celtics will be cautious with Holiday

The Celtics will be cautious with Holiday's injury. They know that he is a key player, but they also don't want to risk further injury.

If Holiday is unable to play on Tuesday, the Celtics will likely start Marcus Smart at point guard and Jaylen Brown at shooting guard.

Raptors are a tough opponent

The Raptors are a tough opponent, even without Kawhi Leonard. They have a lot of young talent, and they are well-coached.

The Celtics will need to be at their best to beat the Raptors on Tuesday. They will need to play good defense, rebound the ball well, and hit their shots.

Conclusion

The Celtics are hoping that Holiday will be able to play on Tuesday, but they are also prepared to sit him out if he is not 100%. The Raptors are a tough opponent, so the Celtics will need to be at their best to win.
