Former Milwaukee Bucks leader Jrue Holiday, centerpiece of the NBA title acquired in 2021, has joined the Boston Celtics, several media announced on Sunday. The transfer of Portland star Damian Lillard to the Bucks announced on Wednesday continues to cause a stir in the big basketball league, whose season begins on October 24. First sent to Portland in this context, Holiday finally landed at the Celtics in exchange for Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams and several choices during the Draft, write notably ESPN, The Athletic and the Boston Globe.
The prestigious Boston Celtics franchise, 17 times crowned, thus strengthens its status as title contender, with in its ranks Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the most prolific duo in terms of points last season in the NBA. Holiday, who averaged 19.3 points, 7.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds during the 2022-2023 season, had been a valuable lieutenant for Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo in the quest for the NBA title in 2021, thanks to his defensive qualities in particular.
