But for Jrue Holiday, the diagnosis he received last week was a new one. The Celtics guard missed his second straight game Sunday with “mallet finger” in his right pinky, an injury to the outermost knuckle that prevents a person from straightening the finger.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday gave an update on his injured hand Sunday afternoon. Prior to the team's tilt against the Denver Nuggets, Holiday shared he was just as surprised by the diagnosis as anyone else.

The Boston Celtics will be facing off against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday and they will be missing a few players. Boston has ruled out both star point guard Jrue Holiday and center Kristaps Porzingis for this game against Denver.
