Jrue Holiday Wins Second NBA Sportsmanship Award

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday has been awarded the 2024-25 NBA Sportsmanship Award for the second time, having previously won it in 2021 with the Milwaukee Bucks. Holiday is the first Celtics player and just the fifth in NBA history to win the award multiple times. The honor, voted on by NBA players, recognizes his exemplary conduct, leadership, and philanthropy, including his work through the Jrue & Lauren Holiday Social Impact Fund. Holiday is also a three-time Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year recipient and a finalist for the NBA Social Justice Champion Award. He missed the final three games of Boston's first-round playoff series against Orlando due to a hamstring injury but is expected to return as the Celtics await their next opponent. Holiday's leadership and sportsmanship remain vital as Boston pursues another championship.
