US EditionJrue Holiday Trade Revised as Celtics Won't Get Draft Picks From Blazers After Reported Review of Medicals
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUL 7 – The Celtics and Trail Blazers completed a player swap without draft picks after medical concerns over Jrue Holiday altered the original trade terms, saving Boston salary costs.
- On Monday, July 7, 2025, the Portland Trail Blazers officially acquired Jrue Holiday from the Boston Celtics in a trade exchanging guard Anfernee Simons without draft picks.
- The trade was revised after Portland reviewed Holiday's medicals, leading to the removal of two second-round picks initially included to compensate Boston.
- Holiday, age 35, signed a four-year, $134 million extension last season and missed 20 games due to minor injuries including a right pinky mallet finger and a hamstring strain.
- Celtics president Brad Stevens described Simons as "a really good young player" who is almost a decade younger and has continuously improved over seven NBA seasons.
- The trade helps Boston reduce salary commitments and dip below the luxury tax threshold, while Portland assumes an older player with health concerns and did not relinquish draft picks.
