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.

Celtics guard Jrue Holiday on Sunday missed his second consecutive game due to an injury to his right pinky, and the timeline for his return remains unclear. Holiday said he suffered the “mallet finger” injury—caused by damage to the tendon that straightens the finger—when he jammed it while going for a rebound.

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.
