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.

But for Jrue Holiday, the diagnosis he received last week was a new one. The Celtics guard missed his second straight game Sunday with “mallet finger” in his right pinky, an injury to the outermost knuckle that prevents a person from straightening the finger.

The Boston Celtics will be without starting point guard Jrue Holiday for Friday night's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden.
