Jrue Holiday is not going anywhere. At least if he’s being given a choice. Playing for the Boston Celtics, Holiday had quite a bitter experience recently. With his team making a heartbreaking exit from the second-round playoffs, the rumors were swirling. However, in a recent update, Holiday has made it clear that he has no intentions of leaving the Celtics anytime soon.
The 34-year-old is currently amidst a 4-year-long contract with the Celtics. With a deal of $134 million, Holiday is looking forward to giving back his team with some valuable performances. Speaking to the media, Holiday opined that he feels that he has a very good chance of taking his career forward with the Celtics.
“I think we still have a really, really great opportunity and a great window to be successful and win a championship again… The opportunity to win is now, and I still want to be a part of that,” said Holiday.

“I guess I have nothing to say because this is the first time I’m hearing about it. I also don’t know what he meant by saying that. But we are different players. Brad is an elite scorer, and he’s had somewhat of an off year. So I feel like things are different,” Holiday said.
