The Latest on Jrue Holiday's Status for Celtics-Spurs Game

The Celtics will ring in the new year in San Antonio against this year's number one pick, Victor Wembanyama, and the Spurs.

The Boston Celtics enter their New Year's Eve tilt against this year's first overall pick, Victor Wembanyama, and the San Antonio Spurs atop the NBA standings.

Boston, 25-6, welcome back Jayson Tatum (left ankle sprain injury management), Kristaps Porzingis (left calf injury management), and Al Horford (rest), who were all inactive for Friday's 120-118 win over the Toronto Raptors on the second half of a back-to-back.

But while the Celtics' injury report brings mainly positive news, Jrue Holiday was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game in San Antonio due to a right elbow sprain.

The two-time All-Star registered 15 points and three assists in the victory vs. the Raptors.

As for the hosts of tonight's contest, the Spurs have ruled out Keldon Johnson due to lower back spasms, and Zach Collins is inactive because of a right ankle sprain. Devonte Graham, who's dealing with an illness, is available.

Sunday's matchup will tip off at 7:00 p.m. EST. Inside The Celtics will have content related to the game before, during, and afterward. Follow @BobbyKrivitsky on Twitter for updates and analysis from pregame to post.
