Celtics guard Jrue Holiday on Sunday missed his second consecutive game due to an injury to his right pinky, and the timeline for his return remains unclear. Holiday said he suffered the “mallet finger” injury—caused by damage to the tendon that straightens the finger—when he jammed it while going for a rebound.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla gave quick injury updates on Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, who both practiced Tuesday and have a chance to return for Wednesday night's tilt against the Blazers at TD Garden.

It looks like the Boston Celtics will be shorthanded when they welcome the Portland Trail Blazers to TD Garden on Wednesday night, with six players listed on the team's injury report.

The Boston Celtics have not been the perfect picture of health since the All-Star break. They were hoping that that weekend would help their guys rest and prevent some future injuries. Instead, they have had guys miss multiple games due to various injuries.
