Here’s First Look At Jrue Holiday Practicing In Celtics Uniform

Jrue Holiday officially became a member of the Celtics on Sunday when Boston announced its blockbuster trade with the Portland Trail Blazers.

On Wednesday, it was time to get to work.

Holiday tossed on Celtics gear and practiced with his new team for the first time, before then participating in an introductory press conference with Boston’s training camp underway.

The Celtics also shipped Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a three-team trade that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Boston from the Washington Wizards. And they signed Jaylen Brown to a supermax contract extension, silencing questions about his future with the organization.

Will the reshuffled roster be enough to put the Celtics over the top in the Eastern Conference, where they’re championship co-favorites alongside the Milwaukee Bucks? Only time will tell, of course, but pouncing on the opportunity to acquire Holiday after Milwaukee sent him to Portland as part of last week’s Damian Lillard trade could be a difference-maker.

Holiday sure seems like a perfect fit in green.
